JSS STU launches computer science prog for students with disabilities
Mysuru: In a first for Karnataka, JSS Science and Technology University (JSS STU) will launch an exclusive BE computer science and technology programme tailored specifically for students with hearing and orthopaedic disabilities. The course will commence from the upcoming academic year at the SJCE campus, announced Harish, registrar of JSS STU, on Thursday. The initiative aims to bridge a critical gap faced by differently-abled students, particularly those who completed a three-year computer science diploma at JSS Polytechnic for the Differently Abled. Many of these students found it challenging to continue higher education due to a lack of inclusive learning environments in mainstream engineering colleges. "Recognising their struggles, we approached the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) for permission to start a dedicated course. With the support of both the State and Union govts, the AICTE has now approved the programme," said Harish. The course will initially admit 30 students and is open to applicants from across Karnataka and other parts of India.
