India being one of the largest countries in terms of area and population is also one of the largest contributor of higher studies colleges and thus students.
The growth of Technical Education before independence in the Country has been very slow. The
number of Engineering Colleges and Polytechnics (including Pharmacy and Architecture Institutions)
in 1947 was 44 and 43 respectively with an intake capacity of 3200 and 3400 respectively.
Due to efforts and initiatives taken during successive Five Year Plans and particularly due to policy
changes in the eighties to allow participation of Private and Voluntary Organizations in the setting up
of Technical Institutions on self-financing basis, the growth of Technical Education has been
phenomenal.
Technical education at all levels in the country is witnessing a consistent growth pattern marked by the setting up of new Institutions and the improvement of the existing ones in tune with the quality assurance norms set by the National Board of Accreditation (NBA). The Council believes in providing a proper impetus to Institutions in generating competent engineers and scientists and encourages them to think beyond the curriculum while imparting training for the advancement of knowledge.
