Deputy chief minister and education minister Manish Sisodia inaugurated the Netaji Subhash University of Technology (NSUT) in Dwarka.

The technical institute was under Delhi University and earlier known as NSIT. It was recently given the approval to run as a university. With this, NSUT will have the autonomy to revise curriculum, create its own Academic Council and fast-track administrative decisions. It will remain answerable to the University Grants Commission (UGC).

Sisodia said NSUT will focus on creating job-makers instead of job-seekers by including entrepreneurship and skill-based education in the curriculum. Delhi Technological University vice-chancellor Yogesh Singh explained that with the university status, the institute will have the flexibility to start self-regulated courses, and have full autonomy in academic and administrative matters. “Now, the government has also made it mandatory for all universities to be part of the NIRF rankings. This means several aspects of the university will need to be upgraded and worked on to score well. The university wouldn’t have been able to do this kind of work on itself if it were under Delhi University,” he said.

Secretary of department of technical education and higher education, Devinder Singh, said while autonomy was a good thing, it was the responsibility of the university to use the funds given to them judiciously. “It is on us to take the university forward,” he said.

Sisodia took a dig at the Centre, saying that while the Centre was busy worrying about cows, temples and mosques, the Delhi government’s only religion was to bring out more educational institutions. “Their officers made it very difficult for our officers to get any work done. Even though the Cabinet gave its nod to the NSUT proposal, the Centre sat on it for 2.5 years before giving its approval,” he said.
