FOREWORD
The aim of higher education in India is to provide access, equity, quality and accountability at affordable cost
to all aspiring citizens with utmost transparency so as to ensure sustainable economic development of the
nation. It is achieved through creation, transmission and dissemination of knowledge. The All India Council
for Technical Education (AICTE) has been in existence since November 1945 as a national level Apex
Advisory Body and as a statutory body through an Act of Parliament in 1987 with its mission of developing
and promoting quality technical education in the country in a coordinated and integrated manner. The
Council’s constant endeavor is to encourage a meaningful association between the technical education system
and research and development activities in a concerted effort aimed at nation-building.
Technical education at all levels is witnessing a severe competition and only those institutions who strive for
excellence will survive. The Council believes in providing all kinds of support and encourage institutions to
think beyond the curriculum while imparting training for the advancement of knowledge. The Council has put
in place several initiatives to bring about changes in the Approval Process by introducing greater transparency
and accountability through the e-governance. The AICTE has been constantly endeavoring to simplify the
procedures and bring in greater ease in the approval process through informal and formal interactions with all
stakeholders. The role of AICTE, as a true facilitator of quality technical education is evident from the
changes made in the Approval Process Handbook along with revised Gazette Policy Regulation No. F.No:
AB/AICTE/REG/2016 of AICTE dated November 30, 2016 and further revised in November 2017. This is
expected to create an academic ambience in the Technical Institutions for nurturing and supporting quality so
that technical education in India will be one of the best in the world. Supporting institutions for Autonomy,
Accreditation of Programmes, Ranking of Institutions, schemes such as Margdarshan, Adjunct Faculty,
Trainee Teacher and Unnat Bharat Abhiyan, launching of Student Startup Policy 2016, Smart India
Hackathon 2017, a MOOCs platform SWAYAM are a few of the important initiatives embarked upon by
AICTE during the last year. Further, several new initiatives such as revision of all UG and PG model
curricula, teacher training Programmes for both new teachers and in service teachers, innovative student
induction programme, mandatory internship for students, support for innovation and entrepreneurship,
industry interaction cells, starting the work on a national perspective plan for technical education have been
initiated. AICTE has signed several MOUs with both government departments and private organizations,
NGOs, startups for supporting students and colleges in getting internship opportunities. The introduction of
National Digital Depository for storing all students’ educational Certificates, all fee collections and
scholarship disbursals through cashless digital means are major changes initiated by the Government of India
and implemented by AICTE.
This manual is an attempt to provide comprehensive information on the fair and rational system of
administration as well as other necessary information on the processes involved under the aegis of the AICTE.
The emphasis on e-governance to ensure transparency and accountability, and implementing a tech-savvy
approach to enable faster processing and clearly defining the infrastructural norms in Institutions are just a
few pointers towards AICTE’s efforts at fostering a technical education system which is on par with the best
Institutions in the world.
Swami Vivekananda said "Education is the manifestation of the perfection already in man”. In keeping with
this objective, apart from regulatory role, AICTE shall continue to strive to be a true mentor, facilitator and
enabler in bringing out the best in each Institution. We hope all the stakeholders of technical education shall
also put in their best and make team India proud.

1 Background and Statutory Provision under AICTE Act Regarding Planning, Promotion and
Regulation of Technical Education
1.1 Background
The beginning of formal Technical Education in India can be dated back to the mid-19th century. The major
Policy initiatives in the pre-independence period included appointment of the Indian Universities Commission
in 1902, issue of the Indian Education Policy resolution in 1904 and the Governor General’s Policy statement
of 1913 stressing the importance of Technical Education, the establishment of IISc in Bangalore, Institution
for Sugar, Textile and Leather Technology in Kanpur, N.C.E. in Bengal and Industrial Schools in several
provinces. Significant developments include:
 Constitution of the Technical Education Committee of the Central Advisory Board of Education (CABE)
of 1943;
 Preparation of the Sergeant Report of 1944; and
 Formation of the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) in 1945 by the Government of
India.
The AICTE was set up in November 1945 based on the recommendations of CABE to stimulate, coordinate
and control the provisions of educational facilities and industrial development of the post war period. At that
time, mandate of AICTE basically covered only Programmes in Engineering and Technology.
The growth of industries in the country, just after independence, also demanded the need for qualified
professionals in other fields, such as Business Management, Architecture, Hotel Management, Pharmacy etc.
Although the diverse elements of Management such as Commerce, Economics, Finance, Psychology and
Industrial Sociology were being taught for a long time, the need for Management Education in a formal way
was felt in India only in the fifties. The Government of India decided in 1954 to set up a Board of
Management Studies under AICTE to formulate standards and promote Management Education. Other major
initiatives taken in Management Education include: setting up of the Administrative Staff College of India at
Hyderabad in the late fifties, National Productivity Council and Indian Institution of Management in the early
sixties. Architecture was covered under the Architects Act, 1972. Subsequently, for better coordination of the
Professional Courses, Architecture Education was also placed under the purview of AICTE.
Hotel Management Education had a modest beginning with short Programmes in Nutrition and Food Science,
which started in the late fifties. The National Council of Hotel Management and Catering Technology were set
up in 1982, to which all the Institutions of Hotel Management run by the Government are affiliated.
Education in other professional fields such as, Pharmacy, Applied Arts and Crafts has also undergone similar
developments during the post-independence period. Programmes for Technical Education, during the first
three Five Year Plans, were devoted to expansion of Technical Education to meet the growing demand for
technical personnel at Diploma, Degree and Post-Graduate Levels. From the fourth Five Year Plan onwards,
the emphasis was shifted to the improvement of quality and standards of Technical Education. This was done
through implementation of the Quality Improvement Programme consisting of three major components that
provided for M.E./ M.Tech. and Ph.D. Programmes, Establishment of Curriculum Design and Development
Cells, and Short Term Training Programmes.
Meanwhile, expansion of Institutions and Intake remained at a low level in the Government, Private-aided and
University sectors. The Policy Shift during eighties towards involvement of Private and Voluntary
Organizations in the setting up of Technical and Management Institutions on self-financing basis ushered in
an era of unprecedented expansion of the Technical Education System, a trend which has continued during
successive Five Year Plans.
Page | 14
It was in this context that AICTE was given statutory powers by the AICTE Act of Parliament in 1987, with a
view to ensure the proper planning and coordinated development of Technical Education System throughout
the Country. Technical Education in this context includes fields of Engineering and Technology, Architecture,
Planning, Management, Pharmacy and Applied Arts and Crafts.
1.2 Growth of Technical Education
The growth of Technical Education in the Country before independence was very slow. The number of
Engineering Colleges and Polytechnics (including Pharmacy and Architecture Institutions) in 1947 was 44
and 43 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.

GUIDELINES TO ESTABLISHMENT OF GRIEVANCES REDRESSAL MECHANISM
The Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), Government of India has emphasized that
there is a need of structured mechanism for online registration as well as disposal of the grievances of
students/faculty/stakeholders in every Institution approved by AICTE.
In view of the above, all the Institutions are requested to urgently put in place an online mechanism, if
not presently existing, for registering and disposing of grievances. Once this mechanism is established, the
following outcomes are desired to be fulfilled:
i. Each AICTE approved Technical Institution should be able to receive and dispose of the
grievances online.
ii. Each of these Institutions should have a notice board/flex board fixed near the office of its
Head, indicating the details of online Grievance Redressal Mechanism i.e. URL of the online
Grievance Redressal Portal, names, contact nos. and e-mail IDs of members of the Grievance
Committee, to ensure publicity/awareness of the establishment of Grievance Redress
Mechanism/Students Grievances Portal. This would help speedy redressal of the grievances
and obviate/reduce the urge to lodge the grievance on pg.portal of DARPG.
iii. An online monthly Status Report regarding the number of grievances received, disposed off
and pending as on the last day of the previous month should be informed to AICTE.
iv. Non-registration of grievances on the portal of the Institution resulting in more number of
grievances being registered on the pg.portal of Central Government which would be an
indication that the grievance redress mechanism of the respective institution/organisation is
not working properly to the satisfaction of the petitioners.
v. The performance of the grievance redress mechanism at the point of arising of the grievance
i.e. Institution may be taken into account by the Accreditation Agencies.
vi. The Council will take into account the performance of the grievance redress mechanism at the
point of origin of the grievance i.e. Institution, at the time of renewal of their
permission/approval every year.
All the institutions are requested to take necessary steps to implement the above.
