Engineering and Law

I don't know who got the noble idea of keeping Constitution of India as a subject for Engineering students.

Do all students (not only engineering) really need to know about all the rules and regulations of the country? Is it so much a necessity in today's world?

Well, before coming to those topics, let us know what we are taught of: We are taught about many articles regarding freedoms, rights, duties and about the union and the state governments, emergencies, amendments, commissions, case studies etc etc.. Then what do the law students learn? All of these in detail, plus some more case studies.

So, here is an indigenous idea: Why don't keep the subject for two or three more semesters and award a law degree also?! Well, it is certainly a notable point to be considered! After all, this is not new for VTU to provide two degrees if the student studies one more year...

Now on to the necessity of the subject: It may be necessary in the minds of some people. But I tell you, perhaps no student learns it as a means of learning, but as just another subject. So, nothing to be gained, either by students or the university.
