New Delhi: Delhi University launched the much awaited course in innovation which aims at taking education beyond blackboards.

The course named BTech/BS innovation with mathematics & IT is a four year undergraduate programme.

The students have to undergo an entrance test and a personal interview to get admission for the course. The entrance will be held on September 25.

In its debut year, the course is open only to the students currently enrolled in DU. However, any student, who has studied mathematics in Class XII, will be eligible to apply from next year.

Under the programme, the students will spend a lot of time in laboratories- both real and artificial - and will be given a lot of freedom to pursue their innovative skills.

The students will also adopt slums or semi urban areas in the city to study the problems faced by residents and offer them solutions through innovation.

The faculty for the programme will have teachers from different streams such as Informatics and Communication, Zoology, Mathematics, Physics, Electronics and Finance.

The course is getting very good response as more than 1,800 applications came already for 40 seats.
