LOK SABHA
The teacher-students
ratio for under-graduate degree level technical institution
in Engineering and Technology is 1:15, as per information furnished
by All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE). But, it
has come to the notice of AICTE that certain institutions are
not able to fulfil the requirment of teacher-student ratio mainly
due to shortage of teachers. Based on reports of the Expert
Committees, AICTE initially serves notice on the defaulting
institution. If any institute still fails to fulfil the requirement,
AICTE either puts such institute under ‘No Admission’ category
or reduces its "Approved Intake". In cases where serious deficiencies
are noticed, AICTE initiates action for withdrawal of approval
to such institutions.
This information
was given by the Union Minister of State for Humana Resource
Development, Dr Vallabhbhai Kathiria in the Lok Sabha today.
