AICTE directs colleges to provide students, infra details

INDORE: With a move to compile data of technical and MBA colleges, All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) has directed all institutions to provide their details regarding students, faculty members and facilities to All Indian Survey on Higher Education (AISHE) by May 20.
AICTE chairman Avinash S Pant has written a letter to principals/directors of technical and management colleges directing them to upload the required data on AISHE portal, set up by minister of human resource development (HRD), to get information related to institutions for planning and decision making at national level.
“As a part of the national venture, all AICTE approved institutions are required to upload their institution data through data capture format,” read the letter of AICTE chairman. At present, survey for 2012-13 and 2013-14 is underway.
Following the AICTE move, DAVV’s college development council director Prof Sumant Katiyal had written to colleges to provide details regarding number of students, faculty members, facilities and infrastructure.
He said university has already linked the affiliation of the institution to information on AISHE. “DAVV will grant affiliation to only those institutions, which are providing information on AISHE,” he added.
