period included appointment of the
Indian Universities Commission in 1902,
Indian Education policy resolution in 1904

Significant developments in the policy include:
Constitution of the Technical Education Committee of
the Central Advisory Board of Education (CABE) of 1943;
Preparation of the Sergeant Report of 1944; and
Formation of the All India Council for Technical Education
(AICTE) in 1945 by the Govt of India.

The AICTE was set up in November 1945 based
on the recommendations of CABE to stimulate,
coordinate and control the provisions of
educational facilities and industrial development of
the post war period.
At that time, mandate of AICTE basically covered
only programs in Engineering and Technology.
6. Technical Education in India
The Government of India decided in 1954 to set up a
Board of Management Studies under AICTE to
formulate standards and promote Management
Education.
Architecture was covered under the Architects’ Act,
1972. Subsequently, for better coordination of
the Professional Courses, Architecture Education
was also placed under the purview of AICTE.
The National Council of Hotel Management and
Catering Technology were set up in 1982, to
which all the Institutions of Hotel Management
are affiliated.
7. Technical Education in India
Education in other professional fields such as, Pharmacy, Applied
Arts & Crafts has also undergone similar developments during
the post-independence period.
Programs for Technical Education, during the first three Five Year
Plans, were devoted to expansion of Technical Education to meet
the growing demand for technical personnel at Diploma, Degree
and Post-Graduate Levels.
From the fourth Five Year Plan onwards, the emphasis was shifted to
the improvement of quality and standard of Technical Education.
This was done through implementation of the Quality Improvement
Program consisting of three major components that provided
for M.E. / M. Tech and Ph. D Programs, Establishment of
Curriculum Design and Development Cells, and Short Term
Training Programs.

The policy shift during eighties towards involvement of Private
and Voluntary Organizations in the setting up of Technical and
Management Institutions on self-financing basis ushered in an era
of unprecedented expansion of the Technical Education System, a
trend which has continued during successive Five Year Plans.
It was in this context that AICTE was given statutory powers by
the AICTE Act of Parliament in 1987, with a view to ensure the
proper planning and coordinated development of Technical
Education System throughout the Country.
Technical Education in this context includes fields of Engineering
and Technology, Architecture, Town Planning, Management,
