Jamia Millia Islamia opens new Skill Hub for hands-on technical training

In a major step towards enhancing technical education, Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) on April 8 launched a Centre of Excellence for Professional Skill Development at its University Polytechnic. The centre is aimed at providing industry-relevant and future-relevant skills to students.

The inauguration ceremony was chaired by Vice Chancellor, Professor Mazhar Asif, and attended by key officials including Registrar Prof Mohammad Mahtab Alam Rizvi, Dean Faculty of Engineering & Technology Prof Mini Shaji Thomas, and MD
