AICTE approves 17 new technical institutes in Maharashtra

The AICTE (All India Council for Technical Education) has approved the applications of 17 new technical institutes in Maharashtra. These technical institutes will become functional from 2012-13.
AICTE received 669 applications for new institutes which included polytechnics, engineering, management, architecture, pharmacy and applied arts colleges. Out of these, 76 applications including 17 from Maharashtra have been approved. All others have been rejected.
The AICTE commenced its approval process for the academic year 2012-13 by inviting online proposals between October and December previous year. These proposals were scrutinized between January and March 2012.
Sources from AICTE revealed that out of the 669 applications, 307 were for new polytechnic colleges and rest was for post graduate and degree colleges for management, engineering and other technical courses. One hundred and nineteen applications were received from Maharashtra state.
The state government of Maharashtra had earlier requested in written to AICTE to not to approve any proposal for new technical institutes as large number of seats are going vacant since last few years in the state.
Presently, there are about 325 engineering institutes in Maharashtra with a collective intake capacity of more than 1.2 lakh students. Nearly 20000 seats have gone vacant in last 2 years in the engineering colleges in Maharashtra.
Sources from AICTE revealed that it received the letter from state government but implying a sudden hold on the approval process is not feasible considering the time taken by any institute to reach the level where it can apply for approval.
