New Delhi: The All
India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) would soon allow
more technical courses including engineering through
correspondence, Human Resource Development Minister M.M. Pallam
Raju said Friday.
After a meeting with AICTE Chairman S.S. Mantha and other
officials, Raju told reporters that a new accreditation body for
technical education, Indian Board of Accreditation (IBA), will
also be constituted soon.
Students are presently allowed to pursue management (MBA) and
computer application (BCA, MCA) programmes through correspondence.
But the AICTE does not allow engineering courses through this
mode.
The AICTE chairman said that based on recommendations of several
committees, the council has decided to allow more technical
courses through correspondence. However, "there will be strict
conditions of eligibility".
Mantha said: "Nearly all courses except medicine and architecture
would be allowed through correspondence."
He, however, added that the final decision in this regard would be
taken later. The proposal is likely to be finalized by February
next year.
Mantha added that an entrance test would be organised for graduate
level courses, while Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT)
scores might be considered for entrance to post-graduate courses.
He also made it clear that correspondence courses would be
available only for those who have already done a diploma course,
or some other regular technical course, and have some work
experience.
