INTRODUCTION
All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) was established by an Act of Parliament in 1987 with a
view to promote proper planning and coordinated development of technical education system
throughout the country. AICTE helps promotion of qualitative improvements in technical education in
relation to the planned quantitative growth and regulates proper maintenance of norms and
standards and matters connected therewith. The technical education covers programmes of
education, research, training in Engineering & Technology, Architecture, Town Planning, Management,
Pharmacy, Applied Arts and Crafts and other related areas of Engineering & Technology.

OVERVIEW
AICTE Quality Improvement Schemes (AQIS), promotes Quality in Technical Education through Research
and Development and several other schemes which aim to create technical work on a systematic basis
in order to increase the available body of knowledge, which includes the technical institutes, its faculty
and students and their interdependence on technology and the use of this knowledge to devise new
applications. These schemes are being operated by the RIFD Bureau through which, as a part of its
functions, AICTE provides financial assistance to various Institutions for improvement in quality of
education. It also promotes research and development in technical institutions and to enhance industry
Institute Interaction. Some of the popular schemes are as follows:
 SHARE AND MENTOR INSTITUTIONS (MARGDARSHAN)

An Institute of repute as a Mentor within an existing facility to serve as the hub to guide and
disperse knowledge to and between around ten technical institutions to encourage best
practices. The secondary branches, the spokes, are additional services provided to faculty for
self improvement. Eventually, the Hub ‘n Spoke system will allow for inter-hamlet information
sharing, such as technical education, research and sharing of resources to the entire system.
 ADJUNCT FACULTY
One of the key objectives is to have a strong and robust collaboration between the educational
Institutions and industry. The guidelines seek to encourage quality involvement of
academicians, scholars, practitioners, policymakers in teaching, research, and related services
on a regular basis. Such involvement helps in bringing external perspective to regular teaching
to make classes more interesting and to further enrich existing knowledge of faculty members.
 TRAINEE TEACHER SCHEME

The scheme Attracting bright Undergraduate and Postgraduate students to teaching
profession by providing M. Tech/Ph. D Fellowships and assured job for advancing their
professional growth by giving scholarships.
 UNNAT BHARAT ABHIYAN

Unnat Bharat Abhiyan is inspired by the vision of transformational change in rural
development processes by leveraging knowledge institutions to help build the architecture of
an Inclusive India. Their mission is conceptualised as a movement to enable processes that
connect institutes of higher education with local communities to address the development
challenges of rural India through participatory processes and appropriate technologies for
accelerating sustainable growth. It also aims to create a virtuous cycle between the society and
an inclusive university system by providing knowledge and practices for emerging professions
and to upgrade the capabilities of both the public and the private sectors.
 RESEARCH PROMOTION SCHEME (RPS):

This scheme Promotes Research in identified thrust areas of in Technical Education. RPS is

INDEST
23.1 OBJECTIVES
(a) The ‘Indian National Digital Library in Engineering Sciences and Technology (INDEST)
Consortium’ was set up in 2003 by the Ministry of Human Resource Development
(MHRD) on the recommendation of an Expert Group appointed by the Ministry. The
Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi was designated as the Consortium
Headquarters to co-ordinate its activities. The Consortium enrolls engineering and
technological institutions as its members and subscribe to electronic resources for them
at discounted rates of subscription and favorable terms and conditions. The benefit of
consortia-based subscription to electronic resources is not confined to its core members
but is also extended to all educational institutions under its open-ended proposition. 60
Govt./Govt.-aided engineering colleges are provided to access to selected electronic
resources with financial support from the AICTE. The number of AICTE supported
institutes has been increased to 103 by inducting new membership of 43 eligible
institutes during the year 2014. 1235 engineering colleges and institutions who joined
the Consortium has now grown to 1500.
(b) The Consortium was re-named as INDEST-AICTE Consortium in December 2005 with the
AICTE playing a pivotal role in enrolling its approved engineering colleges and
institutions as members of the Consortium for selected e-resources at much lower rates
of subscription. The objectives of INDEST-AICTE Consortium are as follows:
1. To subscribe electronic resources for the members of the Consortium at
highly discounted rates of subscription and at the best terms and conditions.
2. To extend the benefit of consortia-based subscription beyond the core
members to other engineering and technological institutions.
3. To impart training to the users and librarians in the members institutions on
subscribed electronic resources with an aim to optimize the usage of
subscribed electronic resources.
4. To find more avenues of cooperation and interaction amongst member
libraries.
5. To increase scientific productivity of member institutions in terms of quality
and quantity of publications.
6. To help new engineering institutes and colleges to make the right choice of
e-resources.
7. To find more avenues of co-operation and interaction with other consortia.

Pharmacy & Polytechnic Institutions:
(i) Providing opportunities to faculty members of the degree-level engineering
institutions to improve their qualification by offering admissions to Master’s
and Ph.D. degree Programme.
(ii) Organizing Short Term Courses at the Major QIP Centers for serving
teachers.
(iii) Curriculum Development (CD) Cell activities which help to improve class
room teaching and learning.
There are total 81 QIP Centers of AICTE in the country under three main verticals.
