INDIA COUNCIL FOR TECHNICAL
EDUCATION
ACT 1987
(No 52 OF
1987)
(As
Passed by the Houses of Parliament)
An Act to
provide for the establishment of an All India Council for Technical Education
with a view to the proper planning and co-ordinated development of the
technical education system throughout the country, the promotion of
qualitative improvements of such education in relation to planned
quantitative growth and the regulation and proper maintenance of norms and
standards in the technical education system and for matters connected
therewith.
Technical
education in India contributes a major share to the overall education system
and plays a vital role in the social and economic development of our nation. In
India, technical education is imparted at various levels such as:
craftsmanship, diploma, degree, post-graduate and research in specialized
fields, catering to various aspects of technological development and economic
progress.
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, Institute for Sugar, Textile and Leather
Technology in Kanpur, N.C.E. in Bengal in 1905 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.
All India
Council for Technical Education (AICTE) was set-up in November 1945 as a
national level Apex Advisory Body to conduct survey on the facilities on
technical education and to promote development in the country in a coordinated
and integrated manner. And to ensure the same, as stipulated in, the National
Policy of Education (1986), AICTE be vested with statutory authority for
planning, formulation and maintenance of norms and standards, quality assurance
through accreditation, funding in priority areas, monitoring and evaluation,
maintaining parity of certification and awards and ensuring coordinated and
integrated development and management of technical education in the country.
The
Government of India (Ministry of Human Resource Development) also constituted a
National Working Group to look into the role of AICTE in the context of
proliferation of technical institutions, maintenance of standards and other
related matters. The Working Group recommended that AICTE be vested with the
necessary statutory authority for making it more effective, which would
consequently require restructuring and strengthening with necessary
infrastructure and operating mechanisms.
Pursuant to
the above recommendations of the National Working Group, the AICTE Bill was introduced
in both the Houses of Parliament and passed as the AICTE Act No. 52 of 1987.
The Act came into force w.e.f. March 28, 1988. The statutory All India Council
for Technical Education was established on May 12, 1988 with a view to proper
planning and coordinated development of technical education system throughout
the country, the promotion of qualitative improvement of such education in
relation to planned quantitative growth and the regulation and proper
maintenance of norms and standards in the technical education system and for
matters connected therewith.
The purview
of AICTE (the Council) covers programmes of technical education including
training and research in Engineering, Technology, Architecture, Town Planning,
Management, Pharmacy, Applied Arts and Crafts, Hotel Management and Catering
Technology etc. at different levels.

Organisation
