Technical Education plays a vital role in human resource
development of the country by creating skilled manpower, enhancing industrial
productivity and improving the quality of life of its people. Technical
Education covers programmes in engineering, technology, management,
architecture, town planning, pharmacy, applied arts & crafts, hotel
management and catering technology.
All India Council
for Technical Education
The All India Council for Technical
Education (AICTE) was set up in 1945 as an advisory body and later on in 1987
given the statutory status by an Act of Parliament. The AICTE grants approval
for starting new technical institutions, for introduction of new courses and
for variation in intake capacity in technical institutions. The AICTE has
delegated to the concerned state governments powers to process and grant
approval of new institutions, starting new courses and variations in the intake
capacity for diploma level technical institutions. It also lays down norms and
standards for such institutions. It also ensures quality development of
technical education through accreditation of technical institutions or
programmes. In additional to its regulatory role, the AICTE also has a
promotional role which it implements through schemes for promoting technical
education for women, handicapped and weaker section of the society promoting
innovations, faculty, research and development, giving grants to technical
institutions.
The technical institutions under the AICTE
include post-graduate, under-graduate and diploma in the whole spectrum of
technical education covering engineering/technology, pharmacy, architecture,
hotel management and catering technology, management studies computer
applications and applied arts and crafts.
The AICTE has its headquarters in New Delhi
and seven regional offices located at Kolkata, Chennai, Kanpur, Mumbai,
Chandigarh, Bhopal and Bangalore. A new regional office at Hyderabad has been
set up and is to be operational soon.
The Council discharges its functions
through an Executive Committee.

Council of
Architecture
The Council of Architecture (COA) has been constituted
by the Government of India under the provisions of the Architects Act, 1972,
enacted by Parliament, which came into force on September 1, 1972. The Act
provides for registration of Architects and matters connected therewith. The
COA, besides maintaining a Register of Architects, oversees the maintenance of
standards, periodically of recognized qualifications under the Act by way of
conducting inspection through Committees of Experts. Based on the inspections,
the COA can make representation to appropriate Governments with regard to
inadequacy of standards maintained by the institutions. The Central Government
after further inquiry as deemed fit and keeping in view the comments of the
appropriate Governments and the architecture institutions is required to take
decision regarding notifying de-recognition of the architectural qualification.
The recommendations of the COA are taken before any architectural qualification
is notified as recognized under the Act by the Central Government.
National Board of
Accreditation (NBA)
National Board of Accreditation (NBA) which
was set up in 1994 under Section 10(u) of the AICTE Act awards accreditation
status to programmes as Accredited for five years, accredited for three years
and Not Accredited (NA). Accreditation was based on an 8 point criteria which
was input-based. NBA has, however, revised the criteria for accreditation of
institutes to bring it at par with international parameters. Accreditation is
now based on a 1000 point scale and is an outcome based accreditation system.

Seventeen Regional Engineering Colleges (RECs) were established in various
States as a joint and co-operative enterprise of the Central and the State
Governments concerned. Each REC was to function as an all-India institution
admitting students and recruiting faculty from all parts of the country. Fifty
percent of the admissions of these institutions (each of which was meant to be
