Aurangabad, Dec 12:
Government Polytechnic will get an extension to run the ‘Advanced Diploma in Automotive Mechatronics (ADAM)’ course for the next three years.

Mercedes Benz donated various models of its cars, seven advanced engines, four automatic transmissions, all special tools, 10 software connections, 200 audio and video contents for students study. The value of cars, engines, tools and software is around Rs 2.50 crore.
