Tech boost for BTech batch

The National Institute of Foundry and Forge Technology (NIFFT), Ranchi, is all set to introduce a one-year postgraduate certificate course with a thrust on specialised technological and software knowledge for students.

NIFFT director P.P. Chattopadhyay told The Telegr­aph that the course is meant for NIFFT students who will clear the BTech exam this year to help them find jobs.

“The decision was taken at an online meeting of the board of the management on May 20,” he said. “The programme is meant for NIFFT students only and no separate admission process would be required.”

Explaining why they were introducing this certificate course, Chattopadhyay said: “The certificate programme will help students enhance their own domain knowledge by connecting it with those in other fields such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, the Internet of Things (IoT) and cyber-physical system (CPS).”
