Technical Education plays a vital role in human resource development of the country by creating skilled manpower, enhancing industrial productivity and improving the quality of life. The technical education system in the country can be broadly classified into three categories – Central Government funded institutions, State Government/State-funded institutions & Self-financed institutions. In order to maintain the standard of technical education, a statutory authority- The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE)- was set up in 1945. AICTE is responsible 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 courses, which are known as 'technical' in India and therefore come under the purview of All India Council of Technical Education are - degree and diploma courses in Engineering, Master degree Courses in Engineering, Master of Computer Application (MCA), Master of Business Administration (MBA), Pharmacy Courses, Courses in Architecture and Applied Arts and Hotel Management and Catering Technology Courses. As the technical education courses in India are quite diverse, the number of institutes providing technical courses in India is also huge. The number of AICTE approved institutes that offer engineering degree courses in India is - 4,39,689. There are around 1244 institutes in India that offer diploma courses in engineering, 415 institutes offer diploma courses in Pharmacy, 63 institutes offer diploma courses in Hotel Management and Catering Technology Courses and 25 AICTE approved institutes that offer diploma courses in Architecture. The number of AICTE approved institutes that offer master of Computer Application courses in India is 1012. Polytechnic deals with the technical aspects of engineering studies. Hence Polytechnic education can be termed as a branch of engineering that derives resources from the main streams of engineering and lays tremendous emphasis on learning which is based on extensive practice as opposed to theoretical learning. Work attachment is included as part of the practical curriculum. This serves the purpose of rendering the students with on-job experiences while they are still learning! Polytechnic institutes function at different levels of educational domain, imparting higher technical education for the benefit of technological growth. These institutes for technical education are found aplenty across the length and breadth of India. Each of these institutes conduct a number of academic programs and courses in Polytechnic arraying from Polytechnic Engineering courses to Polytechnic Diploma courses. The courses offered are designed to provide accomplishing and rewarding careers for the serious pursuers. Most of these Polytechnic institutes as well as universities have earned a distinctive reputation for themselves as autonomous academic bodies capable of conducting Masters and Doctoral programs independently. Furthermore, the chairing ones carry out fundamental research works in frontier fields of Computer Science Engineering, Electronics & Communication Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Information Technology, Electrical Engineering, Automobile Engineering, Production Engineering, Refrigeration Engineering, Systems Management and so on.
