Negotiation with accreditation bodies is still in progress Negotiation with accreditation bodies is still in progress. Hence, it will not be possible to start in September. Yet, since the course offering doesn’t relate to semester timing, it is expected to start sooner than the Master programmer (December 2018).
AASTMT has got approval from the center offering Engineering and technical consultation, to have spin-off services in the field of smart grid as one of its services offered.
