CHENNAI: The All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE) has released new guidelines for the 2022-23 academic year.

Accordingly, Mathematics is not compulsory for most engineering courses and Chemistry in Class 12 is not compulsory for enrollment in Computer Science, Electrical & Electronic Engineering.

The AICTE said that one-third of engineering courses, including architectural biotechnology and fashion technology, food processing and preservative, in particular, do not require a 12th grade math degree.

This has been well received among the students.
