The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) recently announced a new rule, which came in as a shock for most students. The council noted that Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics will continue to be essential for subjects in engineering courses, but not mandatory for entry-level. This means that students will have an option not to study these subjects in class 12 and still apply for engineering courses at institutions. The decision sparked quite a debate on social media, drawing arguments from both students and teachers. Meanwhile, students have flooded their Twitter timeline with ‘Maths and Physics,’ funny memes and jokes, and the hilarious tweets sum up every engineering aspirants reaction.
As per the AICTE approval process handbook 2021-22, UG admissions' eligibility criteria have been revised. As of now, class 12 maths and physics were compulsory for taking admission into undergraduate engineering courses. Now students will have to choose any three subjects from Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry, Computer Science, Electronics, Information Technology, Biology, Informatics Practices, Biotechnology, Technical Vocational subject, Engineering Graphics, Business Studies, and Entrepreneurship. Candidates need to pass in any three subjects from the list with a minimum of 45 percent marks in class 12 board exams to apply for admission in UG engineering courses.
The decision sparked a huge debate among students and teachers. Many are of the opinion that both physics and maths are critical to pursuing engineering courses. As per the education experts, various emerging courses like data science and artificial intelligence would require a lot of understanding of mathematics. Meanwhile, students have taken to Twitter to share Maths and Physics funny memes and jokes as a part of their reaction to AICTE’s decision. The reactions are hilarious and display every engineering aspirants’ thought after coming across the latest revision.

AICTE notes that a bridge course in maths, physics and engineering drawing shall be provided at the engineering universities. But educators reportedly argue that a bridge course will not be able to replace class 12 maths as it is only a remedial course, and the engineering curriculum has mathematics till the 5th semester.
