AICTE (All India Council for Technical Education)

In order to overcome imbalances in technical education, the Council has taken up certain new initiatives:-

In order to reduce the imbalance between engineering education and polytechnic education the Council has permitted Second shift of Polytechnic in an existing Polytechnic Institution and also a Second shift of Polytechnic in an existing Engineering Institution.

Keeping in view the regional imbalance in the student intake in various States of the country, the Council has allowed second shift of engineering colleges in existing colleges only in those States where the number of seats available in engineering colleges per lakh of population are less than the all India average.

For a balanced growth of various streams of education in engineering & technology, the Council has taken a policy decision to allow establishment of new engineering institutions with at least three conventional branches as a mandatory requirement in the States where the number of seats available in engineering colleges per lakh of population are more than the all India average, whereas in the states where the number of seats available in engineering colleges per lakh of population are less than the all India average, no such restriction is applicable.

A draft Bill for regulation of the profession of Engineering has been formulated and a Cabinet Note has been circulated to all Ministries for comments.
