New AICTE fiat places technology, HEIs in paradox scenario

Hyderabad:  A brand-new round from the All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE) left the technological as well as standard colleges as well as Telangana State Board of Technical Education (TSBTE) as well as the Telangana State Council of Higher Education (TSCHE) in a paradox scenario.

The newest round has actually asked all the design colleges as well as universities accepted by it to carry out the AICTE-recommended Unified Credit Framework (UCF), National Higher Equation Qualification Framework (NHEQF) as well as National Skill Qualification Framework (NSQF) for the activity of trainees from expert as well as professional education and learning to the design as well as innovation training courses.

This, the pinnacle technological education and learning regulatory authority has actually chosen according to the National Education Policy -2020 (NEP-2020). It has actually asked the colleges as well as universities to take needed actions for modifying the existing laws to carry out the brand-new campaign from the 2022-23 scholasticyear

Following the brand-new AICTE standards, Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Hyderabad (JNTUH), Jawaharlal Nehru Architecture as well as Fine Arts University (JNAFAU), Osmania as well as Kakatiya Universities as well as the Telangana State Technical Education Department (TSTED) need to act on it. However, the Telangana government has actually not picked carrying out NEP-2020. Against this background, it is unclear whether the brand-new round of AICTE would certainly be executed from the 2022-23 scholastic year beginning with August-September, 2022 or otherwise.

According to AICTE, universities looking for authorization to run design training courses have to apply it to obtain AICTE authorization. The brand-new system, it stated, was for presenting as well as carrying out of Credit Framework for the activity of trainees from expert, as well as professional education and learning to design as well as technological education and learning. 

It brings assimilation of various structures which provide versatile access as well as departure choices for the trainees.

The brand-new system suggests 11 degrees with access as well as departure choices with credit report incomes beginning with degree 2 with a Certificate of 3.0 for a course X trainee. It defines the degrees approximately 8.0, covering 10-2 degrees to PhD. At every departure degree, the trainees are made eligible. For instance, a pupil that has actually finished his 10 +2 as well as wants to exist after finishing the initial year of his undergraduate training course will certainly be released an undergraduate certification certification. They can choose lucrative work as well as return once more to proceed their research studies. This makes trainees obtain optimal work possibilities vis-a-vis trainees where NEP-2020 is not executed.

Now, with Telangana government has actually not taken any kind of decision, the state colleges as well as the state technological education and learning board can not take any kind of choice by themselves in its execution.

Speaking to The Hans India, main resources in the JNTUH as well as Osmania University stated, “the new circular has to be approved by the deans committee as well as its academic councils.” Until after that, the universities associated with them can not apply it.
