Recently the issue related to B.Tech and M.Tech courses was raised in the CCT Center for Converging Technology of the Rajasthan University. CCT was established in the year 2006 but even when 10 long years have passed, it has not been made regular yet. This Thursday, students of CCT were seen protesting in front of the Vice Chancellor JP Singhal’s office along with their leader Akhilesh Pareekh to raise their demand of making the courses regular.
