After trying different ways to improve the quality of technical education, the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) is now inviting retired and serving professors from IITs, NITs to mentor the faculty of various institutes that do not have accreditation from National Board of Accreditation (NBA). This decision has been taken to prevent the shutting down of institutes that may not get accredited by NBA.
“Despite launching Margdarshan, an institutionto-institution mentorship programme in 2017, we were unable to create a huge impact. We expected premier institutes to come forward to offer help, but saw the participation of only 13 institutes,” says Anil Sahasrabudhe, chairman, AICTE.
“In order to utilise intellectual resources across the nation, we have devised individual-to-institution mentorship programme under Margdarshak,” he adds.
Last year, AICTE had decided to shut down technical colleges failing to receive NBA accreditation in the next four years. The retired professors will mentor these institutes, helping them to improve the quality parameters required for NBA accreditation,” says Sahasrabudhe. At present, 85% of the technical institutes stand unaccredited.
