VISAKHAPATNAM: Students of Andhra University College of Engineering are provided with the online learning facility. Initially, the 2,000 students of the college will have access to the courses on soft skills, IT skills and business skills.

The facility is provided by gyanX, product of a Bangalore-based knowledge company Liqwid Krystal.

"We have plans to extend this facility to PG students of south campus (colleges of arts and commerce and science), distant education wing and engineering colleges affiliated to AU," said Vice-Chancellor L. Venugopal Reddy after gyanX CEO Anand Adkoli made a presentation of the online facility at AUCE on Friday.

Better package

Prof. Reddy said AUCE students scoring 85 per cent to 90 per cent were getting selected at the campus interviews but they should get better package. The faculty must try to get the students jobs providing a salary of Rs. 75,000 to Rs. 80,000 a month, he said.

Principal of AUCE Allam Appa Rao said gyanX would help students improve their knowledge and get good placement. Students could register themselves with gyanX using their roll numbers. The university had paid Rs.200 for each student to have access and their ID would continue life-long.

Mr. Anand said gyanX was having courses prepared by the world's best learning institutions and many from the Thompson Learning, world's biggest learning institute.

The details of a student will be updated every year and by the end of the fourth year, when he or she completes the course, gyanX itself will send the resume of a student to about 40 to 50 companies. Nearly 1.5 lakh students of Visvesvaraya Technological University in Karnataka are utilising the gyanX facility, he said.
