AICTE reforms for more technical institutes

Students aspiring to be engineers and managers will have more seats available from the next academic year.
In an initiative to improve technical education and establish more technical institutes across the country, AICTE has introduced several reforms for the academic year 2011-12. “In one of our initiatives, we are allowing companies established under Section 25 of the Companies Act, 1956, to set up their own technical institutes. If corporates use their funds to provide good infrastructure and resources, technical education will get a boost. However, joint ventures cannot apply for this scheme,” said SS Mantha, Chairman of AICTE.

To increase the intake of students per college, the AICTE will allow two more courses in institutes that have completed one batch. This translates to an addition of 60 seats in each course. The council is removing the earlier ceiling of not accepting over 540 students in an institute. Earlier, colleges were forced to shut a course to start a new one as higher intake was not allowed.

For management institutes regulated by AICTE, the council plans to consider an increase in the FSI for vertical expansion. To optimise the use of resources on one campus, two or more engineering colleges, or two or more management colleges will be allowed to be integrated in one campus.
