Welcome decision by AICTE for working professional

 



Welcome decision by AICTE (All India Council for Technical Education) for working professional to allow them to pursue their higher education. This concept like the one AMIE (Associate Member of the institution of Engineers certification exam conducted by Institute of Engineers India was earlier (to 2013) government approved and equivalent either to Diploma or Degree of Engineering.

Seeing the mis-utilization of this fact several societies has started providing these certificates compromising the quality of education, the HRD ministry in 2013 withdrew the equivalence of these qualification in all the professional societies. Given the fact that the working professionals had no means to upgrade their academic qualifications.

Few years back the AICTE issued circular allowing the institute to admit working professionals within the sanctioned intake and conduct classes as per a flexible schedule though the degree will be provided in the regular mode. But this did not attract any institution to evinced  

So the notification has been amended emphasized  upon the increase in number of seats for working professionals to 30 seats each for a max of three Engineering branches that the institutealso runs in the regular mode.

The working professionals will have to earn 120 credits to earn a degree over a period of three years.

Classes will be conducted on face to face mode, though 40 % of the classes can be taken through Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC’s) as per UGC norms.

Candidates must have either degree or diploma in engineering or B.Sc. degree with minimum one year of work experience.

It is up to the institutions to laid down the admission process but the flexible class timings of the programmes – in the evenings, online or over weekends will enable the professionals to continue working, while pursuing their academic qualifications.

This will no doubt will address the increasing demand for upskilling and career advancement opportunities in the industry.
