Now students will get a chance to study engineering in their own language. This can prove to be an important step in the field of education.

Engineering studies in India will no longer be bound only by English. The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), taking a major and historic initiative, is working rapidly towards making books for all engineering diploma and degree courses available in 12 Indian languages ​​by December 2026. The purpose of this step is to provide education in the mother tongue to students coming from villages and towns so that they too do not lag behind in technical education.

According to AICTE Chairman Prof. T.G. Sitaram, so far the translation of about 600 engineering books for the first and second year has been completed. These books have been uploaded for students in major Indian languages ​​​​like Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Bengali, Punjabi, Urdu, Kannada, Malayalam, Odia, Gujarati and Assamese. Main subjects like civil, mechanical, electrical, electronics and computer science have been included in these books.

It will help in understanding difficult subjects in easy language

Prof. Sitaram says that these books have been specially prepared in such a way that students can easily understand even complex engineering concepts in their mother tongue. Every chapter includes objectives, outcome-based teaching techniques and practice questions, which makes the study more systematic and understandable.

AICTE is taking the help of AI i.e. Artificial Intelligence to speed up this work. A deep learning model now translates a book with 80% accuracy in just 10 minutes, which is later finalized by experts.

Not necessary

AICTE has clarified that it will not be mandatory for students to study in their mother tongue, it is just an option, especially for those students who are not comfortable studying in English. This facility can prove to be very helpful especially for students coming from rural background.

Employment challenge also in front

Although, students studying in regional language may face challenges in employment opportunities, Prof. Sitaram believes that just like higher education in local languages ​​is possible in Canada and Switzerland, similarly this model can be successful in India too. For this, the government and industries will have to work together.
