APPROVAL PROCESS HANDBOOK
(2012 – 2013)
FOREWORD
The aim of any country’s higher education system is sustainable development and achieving
higher growth rates. It is enabled 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 with its mission of developing
and promoting quality technical education in the country in a coordinated and integrated
manner. The Council is constantly endeavoring 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 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.
The Council has put in place several initiatives in the last two years to bring out changes in
the Approval Process by introducing greater transparency and accountability through the e-
governance. The emphasis this year is to put in place simplified procedures and greater ease
in the approval process. “From access to quality” will be the slogan for the year 2012-13 to
give more impetus to quality in technical education and to be the best in the world. The role
of AICTE as a regulator will be further geared up to weed out the institutions not fulfilling
the norms and standards.
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 and
Institutions under the aegis of the AICTE. The emphasis on e-governance to ensure
transparency, accountability, 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.
In keeping with these objectives, AICTE would strive to be a true facilitator in addition to
fulfilling the regulatory provisions.
All who have meditated on the art of governing mankind have been convinced that the fate of
empires depend on the education of youth. – Aristotle

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 II Sc. in Bangalore, Institution for Sugar, Textile and Leather Technology in Kanpur,
N.C.E. in Bengal in 1905 and Industrial schools in several provinces. Significant developments
include:
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 programs 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.
Education in other professional fields such as, Pharmacy, Applied Arts & Crafts has also undergone
similar developments during the post-independence period. Programs 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 standard of Technical
Education. This was done through implementation of the Quality Improvement Program consisting of
three major components that provided for M.E. / M. Tech and Ph. D Programs, Establishment of
Curriculum Design and Development Cells, and Short Term Training Programs.
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.
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, Town Planning, Management, Pharmacy and Applied Arts & Crafts.
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.
