Level of Technical Education in the Country
The Government has taken several steps to improve the
quality of technical education. National Vocational Education
Qualification Framework (NVEQF) has been launched to create a skill and
productive work force that matches international standards of quality
and productivity through integration of vocational education and
training with main stream education. Apart from this, a revamped
programme of Finishing Schools would also help in enhancing the
employability of engineering graduates and AICTE has various schemes
such as Quality Improvement Programme (QIP) scheme for improvement of
faculty. The World bank funded TEQIP II also caters to improving the
quality of technical education in the country. This Rs. 2430 Crore
project will cover 200 institutions in the country out of which 20% will
be private engineering colleges. Moreover, the National Board of
Accreditation (NBA) has been set up to regulate and monitor the quality
of engineering education in the country through a revised accreditation
system which is outcome based.
