Students of the upcoming academic year across engineering and technical institutions will be the first batch to be introduced to the model curriculum of the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE).
From addressing underemployment among engineering graduates to handing them degrees only on completion of four months of internship, some overarching changes are in the pipeline in technical education in India.
With some states opposing introduction of National Eligibility Test (NET) for admission to engineering courses, it is unlikely to be held next year but could become a reality in 2019-'20, a top AICTE official said on Monday.
The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) is all set to release the provision of a model exam format to technical education institutes for testing the conceptual knowledge of children.
Engineering colleges not maintaining the prescribed student-faculty ratio will be liable for action, the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) has said.
