KPMG, a world-class consulting organization, based on primary and secondary research of the COEP Tech University has submitted a diagnostics report along with recommendations for transformation. Based on this report certain areas have been prioritized for implementation. This includes enriching the experience of the students @ COEP, developing a multidisciplinary approach, and improving the necessary infrastructure facilities for imparting high-quality engineering education. Emphasis will also be on leveraging collaborations with industry partners that will benefit students, promote entrepreneurship development, innovation, and research, and harness digital technology in the university curriculum, informed Dr. Chaudhari.

Affirming that the university is taking a progressive step forward in the field of public policy while implementing the new education policy.  Dr. Chaudhari said, “To prevent the misuse of artificial intelligence in the future it is important to impart knowledge about public policy to the students of engineering. To serve this purpose, we are signing an MoU with the city-based Flame University.

On the other hand, expert faculty from COEP will impart the knowledge of the latest technology, e.g. AI & ML to the students of Flame University.”
