A unique feature of this course is a mandatory one-year industry internship or apprenticeship in the fourth year, allowing students to gain technical, professional, and research skills in a real work environment.
The curriculum incorporates modern subjects such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning, Cloud Computing, and Quantum Computing. The final year will also include an industry or research-based internship, providing students with enhanced opportunities for employment or higher studies, he said.
The Bachelor of Design (BDes) in Product Design will be offered under the Devi Ahilya Institute of Design (DAID). This four-year course aims to equip students with mastery in design thinking, engineering basics, ergonomics, and advanced applications of aesthetics to solve future problems.
"Our goal is to cultivate visionary designers who can leverage artificial intelligence and emerging technologies to solve complex real-world challenges through human-centred solutions," stated Dr Singhai.
This programme is designed to prepare students for the next era of innovation, support national and global development goals, and nurture a new generation of design leaders and future thinkers.
DAVV also announced its Master of Physical Education and Sports (MPES) programme. This postgraduate degree offers both one-year and two-year tracks, preparing professionals for various roles in sports, fitness, and academia.
The programme emphasises research, innovation, and high-performance training.
Additionally, the School of Physical Education is introducing a BPED in Physical Education, specifically tailored for students after 10+2. This multidisciplinary, full-time undergraduate programme is designed to produce professionally competent and ethically sound physical education teachers from a foundational level. These courses are aligned with NEP 2020 and NCTE guidelines, integrating general education with vocational education, reflecting DAVV's continued leadership in physical education reform.
The MPES programme and BPED programme will be introduced from the next academic session.

Indore: DAVV's Vice Chancellor, Prof Dr Rakesh Singhai, on Thursday revealed plans to develop an IT Park on its land situated in Bada Bangarda, along with running an architecture and design course there.
Dr Singhai said that the district administration has said to allot the varsity around 12 acres of land in Bada Bangarda while they are expecting some more land at the same place.
As per the plan, DAVV, on PPP mode, will develop an IT Park on this land that will directly benefit its engineering students with hands-on training and employment. The plan is, however, in the initial stage as the land is yet to be transferred in DAVV's name.
Besides, DAVV has carried out an MoU with Raja Mansingh Tomar Music & Art University, Gwalior, and will approach the coordination committee for its approval to provide a joint degree in performing art. DAVV has also got around 70 acres of land and is expecting around 250 acres more land in Jhabua to set up a medical college. However, the university is exploring ways to arrange funds.

ISRO making a 40-storey high rocket to carry 75,000 kg to orbit: Chairman Narayanan
Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) Chairman V Narayanan on Tuesday said the agency is developing a rocket as tall as a 40-storey building, designed to carry 75,000 kg payloads into low earth orbit . Speaking at the convocation ceremony of Osmania University, Narayanan outlined the upcoming projects, including the NAVIC (Navigation with Indian Constellation) satellite, the N1 rocket, and the launch of a 6,500 kg communication satellite of the USA using Indian launch vehicles. 'You know, what is the capacity of the rocket? The first launcher, (Dr APJ) Abdul Kalam ji, which he built was a 17 tonne lift-off mass, capable of placing 35 kg in low earth orbit. Today, we are conceiving a rocket to place 75,000 kg in low earth orbit. The rocket is of 40-storey building height,' PTI quoted him as saying. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Pensioners Can Buy These Electric Cars in Malaysia - See Prices Here!

Railways to go airport mode: Luggage to be weighed at stations, fines for oversize bags soon
The Indian Railways is set to implement strict baggage regulations for train passengers, closely mirroring the practices followed in air travel, said a TOI report. As per proposed rules, travellers will be required to pass their luggage through electronic weighing machines at key railway stations, with permissible weight limits strictly enforced. Those carrying baggage beyond the allowed limit or luggage that is too bulky despite being underweight will be subject to additional charges or penalties. Indian Railways plans to roll out premium single-brand stores at revamped stations, offering products like clothing, footwear, electronics, and travel accessories. An official said the initiative aims to enhance passenger convenience, generate additional revenue, and give stations a modern, airport-style ambience. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Join new Free to Play WWII MMO War Thunder War Thunder Play Now Undo Baggage allowances differ by travel class—70 kg for AC First Class, 50 kg for AC Two Tier, 40 kg for AC Three Tier and Sleeper Class, and 35 kg for General Class. Oversized luggage that disrupts onboard space may incur penalties, even if within weight limits. "The move is aimed at ensuring a more efficient and comfortable travel experience, especially for passengers on long-distance routes," said senior divisional commercial manager (DCM) Himanshu Shukla of the Prayagraj division of NCR. Live Events The initial rollout will cover major stations under the NCR zone, including Prayagraj Junction , Prayagraj Chheoki, Subedarganj, Kanpur Central, Mirzapur, Tundla, Aligarh Junction, Govindpuri and Etawah. Passengers at these stations will only be allowed access to the platforms after their baggage has been weighed and cleared within the prescribed limits, said Shukla. Prayagraj Junction is undergoing a massive redevelopment under the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme, with an investment of Rs 960 crore. The project is set to transform the station into a model rail hub, featuring a nine-storey structure equipped with world-class amenities. Facilities will include spacious waiting lounges, high-speed Wi-Fi, solar energy systems, rainwater harvesting, automated ticket vending machines and digital information displays. From Dec 2026, access to the terminal area will be permitted only to passengers with a valid train ticket, which will function as a "boarding pass" — like airports. Non-travellers will need a platform ticket, which will now act as a "visitor pass". Prayagraj Junction's transformation is especially significant considering the massive footfall expected during the upcoming Kumbh and Maha Kumbh festivals. To manage this efficiently, the station will follow a seven Core Service (CS) concept to streamline arrival and departure traffic. The new infrastructure will also be divyang-friendly, culturally integrated and designed as a green building powered by solar energy. "Once completed, Prayagraj Junction is set to become a model for station redevelopment, with Kanpur and Gwalior among those expected to follow in its footsteps," said Shukla. (With TOI inputs)
