Education.
 Regulate proper maintenance of norms & standards
 Expansion of Technical Education with Quality

3. “Higher education in India especially technical
education has witnessed an exponential growth
in last few years. Quality education is the only
way to progress and we have taken various
initiatives to give impetus to the growth of
quality education. Existing syllabus has been
revamped by preparing a model curriculum as an
updated curriculum is the students’ right.
Inclusion of mandatory internship, both industry
and social, will help engineering graduates
connect with the need of the industry and society
at large.”
