Presently students are allowed to pursue management (MBA) and computer application (BCA, MCA) programmes through correspondence. But the AICTE does not allow engineering courses through this mode.
After a meeting with AICTE Chairman S.S. Mantha and other officials HRD Minister M.M. Pallam Raju told that the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) would soon allow more technical courses including engineering through correspondence.
The AICTE chairman said that based on recommendations of several committees, the council has decided to allow more technical courses through correspondence. However, “there will be strict conditions of eligibility”. Nearly all courses except medicine and architecture would be allowed through correspondence.
Final decision in this regard would be taken later. The proposal is likely to be finalized by February next year.
