Dr Supriya is right. Mere concentration on the supply side will be like a cosmetic treatment. What is required is thorough overhaul of present curriculum and in its place we should introduce such course /courses whereby the students not only get placed but add value to the nation's GDP.

Not all private colleges are starving with students, there are some going strong in this market - how? It is important to think over these points.RegardsDr. Supriya BiswasKolkata

Subject: Re: [MTC Global] Finally, India will produce fewer lousy engineers every yearThis is not any top-down move. It is sheer lack of demand that is forcing many of the engineering colleges to surrender seats. Likewise in the MBA programs. MBA has become like starting a neighbourhood kirana shop - low entry barriers.uma chandrasekaranOn Friday, 25 September 2015 10:26 AM, Virendra Goel <goel.virendra@gmail.com> wrote:
No credit goes to AICTE for this move. It is a natural process of elimination in light of supply being more than the demand and value for money perceived by the students. Expecting any quality improvement after reduction of seats will be disappointing. We are still far away from a competitive spirit based on the quality. It will perhaps take few more years before crisis of survival reaches its peak and process of quality education becomes a necessity for every institution.RegardsVirendra GoelFrom: join_mtc@googlegroups.com [mailto:join_mtc@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Prof. Bholanath Dutta

Subject: [MTC Global] Finally, India will produce fewer lousy engineers every yearIndia's epidemic of lousy engineering colleges, which churned out millions of substandard engineers, may finally be ending.
The country's technical education regulator, All India Council for Technical Education, is planning to reduce over 600,000 engineering seats in colleges across India.
"We would like to bring it (engineering seats) down to between 10 lakh and 11 lakh (one million and 1.1 million) from a little over 16.7 lakh now," Anil Sahasrabudhe, chairman of the AICTE, told the Mint newspaper.
The dismal quality of education at many of the country's existing engineering colleges is one of the main reasons behind AICTE's decision. The regulatory body plans to close down certain colleges and reduce the number seats in some others over the next few years.
"It is the colleges that are coming forward for closure. We are facilitating closure if the colleges are not able to manage with hardly 20-30% seats filled because these colleges become non-viable," Sahasrabudhe told Quartz in an email.
This year alone, about 556 engineering courses or departments across colleges in India have closed down, according to AICTE.--EDUCATE, EMPOWER, ELEVATEProf. Bholanath DuttaVisionary Edupreneur, Founder & PresidentMTC Global: An Apex Global AdvisoryBody in Management EducationCell: +91 96323 18178 / +91 81520 60465 / +91 7411716392--
