New Delhi: Nearly a year after Delhi University
and Jamia Millia
Islamia embarked on the Master of
Mathematics Education programme under the meta university concept, Jawaharlal Nehru
University and Indian Institute
of Technology (Delhi) are gearing up to set up a programme of their
own.
While IIT Delhi
said the initial formula required all four universities to participate
together, the concept got divided after DU and
Jamia embarked upon the Masters course.
"The meta university concept
was supposed to have all four universities on board. But then, DU and Jamia
went ahead and started their own mathematics course. We are now working out the
modalities with JNU to
launch the programme and will sign the Memorandum of
Understanding (MoU) by this month," said RK
Shevgaonkar, director,
IIT Delhi.
While the Finer nuances of the
programme are yet to be worked out, officials said the programme would be meant
for post-graduate
students in humanities. At the same time, they claimed they were
looking at tapping JNU's science streams as well.
"Humanities students from
both JNU and IIT will
get to select courses from the institutes and there will be an arrangement for
calculating credits. The modalities are still being worked out, but the stress
is on facilitating this programme for PhD
students, research scholars and master's students," he added.
