Guidelines for Admission to Engineering Degree and Engineering Diploma ProgrammesG.S.R.320- in exercise of the powers conferred by Section 23(1) of All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) Act 1987( No.52,1987), the AICTE hereby pre

scribes the following guidelines for admission of students in Engineering Degreeand Engineering Diploma programmes in pursuance of Section 10 (o) of the AICTEAct, 1987. GUIDELINES 1.0 ENGINEERING DEGREE PROGRAMMES

1.1 Qualification for Admission of General Category Students. The minimum qualification for admission to degree programmes in Engineering should be a pass in the 10+2 (Senior Secondary) Examination with a minimum aggregate of 60 per cent marks in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics obtained in a single sitting. The duration of degree programme in Engineering will be 4 years after 12th standard. This will apply to cases where admissions are based on the marks in the qualifyingexamination and not on the basis of entrance tests. 1.2 Qualification for Admission of Scheduled Caste & Scheduled Tribes (SC/ST) Students The minimum qualifica

tion for admission to degree programmes in Engineering in respect of SC/ST candidates will be a pass in the 10+2 Senior Secondary Examination with a minimum aggregate of marks in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics as prescribed by the respective State Government/ Union Territory Administration, obtained in an single sitting. 1.3 Entrance Tests All States/Union Territories (UTs) should conduct entrance tests in the subject of Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics at 12+ level. The entrance test should be common to all Engineering degree Institutions in the State /UT. The minimum marks for eligibility for the entrance test need not be prescribed in the case of degree courses and all students who have passed the qualifying examination may be permitted to appear the entrance test. Only the meritranking in the entrance test should be the basis for admission to engineering degree programmes. Such tests should be conducted by appropriate agencies set up for the purpose.


19/50

1.4 Admission of Reserved Category Students The admission for reserved categories should be strictly on the basis of merit of the respective categories, in thetest as prescribed by the respective State Government/UT Administrations. In case, no such rule is available with the State Government/UT Administration, the cut-off point for SC/ST candidates should be not less than 2/3 (two third) of thecut-off point in the open category. 2.0 LATERAL ENTRY TO DEGREE ENGINEERING PROGRAMMES.

Although Engineering diploma programmes are conceived as terminal in nature, some flexibility has to be built in , to enable the meritorious amongst diploma holders to obtain Engineering degrees. There is evidence of diploma holders pursingan Engineering programme having performed well not only in their academic careers but also in their jobs. A student who has acquired a diploma in Engineering through a minimum of three years of institutional study, after 10+(Secondary School Leaving Certificate Examination) can be considered to be academically equivalent to a student who has passed the first year of the four year Engineering degree programme for which the qualifying examination is of the 12+ level. Lateral entry for diploma holders will be allowed in the second year third semester level. Seats in addition to the sanctioned intake at first year level, limited to a m

aximum of 10% will be reserved for such students. At present students obtain diploma through different programmes in different States/UTs. Such programmes havedifferent structures and forms like the semester pattern, annual pattern, sandwich pattern, etc. In order to maintain uniformity, a common entrance examinationat the State level seems essential. Further, it is necessary to select only meritorious students who have passed the diploma with good academic record. For being eligible to seek lateral entry to an Engineering degree programme at the second year/ third semester level, a candidate must have passed the diploma in Engineering in the relevant branch with a minimum of 60 percent in the aggregate. Onlycandidates fulfilling these conditions would be eligible for appearing in the entrance test meant for selection of diploma holders for Lateral entry to degreeprogrammes. The selection of candidates will be based on a State level entrancetest, the merit ranking in the test being the basis of admission. Diploma holder

s admitted to degree programmes through lateral entry will be provided with opportunities for making up their deficiencies through remedial courses offered forthis purpose. These students will have to successfully complete such remedial courses within the stipulated time.

GOVT. OF INDIA RESOLUTIONS FOR FEE STRUCTURE, 1997


32/50

THE GAZETTE OF INDIAEXTRAORDINARYPART I SECTION I PUBLISHED BY AUTHORITY(No.F. 20-43/96-Desk (U)) Policy on Fee fixation in Private Unaided Educational Institutions imparting Higher and Technical Education including Management Education. -1.0 The Supreme Court of India inUnnikrishnan JP versus State of Andhra Pradesh had, on 8th February, 1993 laid down a scheme regulating admission and levy of fee in private unaided educational

institutions particularly those imparting professional education. This scheme will be referred hereinafter as the Scheme in Unnikrishnan. As an interim measure,the Scheme provided for an adhoc fee determination procedure and certain alliedmatters. As a long term measure, however para 6(6) of the scheme required that the All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE), University Grants Commission (UGC), the Medical Council of India and the Dental Council will frame suitableregulations in the matter which would replace the adhoc provisions of that Scheme. 2.0 Pursuant to the above decision, fee was fixed in various States in Private Engineering Colleges at rates that were found to be suitable by the Courts. Regulations were framed soon thereafter by the All India Council of Technical Education broadly incorporating the features of the Scheme laid down by the Court.Similarly, the University Grants Commission has also prepared draft regulations

on the subject. In case of Medical and Dental Colleges, however, rates of fee have been laid down by the Court from time to time. 3.0 The Court had occasion toconsider the status of implementation of the Scheme in Unnikrishnan, as modifiedby its various orders, in 1A No. 24 etc in CWP No. 317 of 1993. The orders passed on 9th August, 1996 require the Central Government, including the Ministry ofEducation to take steps to convene a meeting of all the concerned authorities for evolving a proper fee structure for Medical, Engineering and Dental Collegesthroughout the country within three months, which now stands extended till 28thFebruary, 1997. 4.0 Meeting of all concerned, viz. the Ministries of Health & Family Welfare, Law Ministry, the Medical Council of India, the Dental Council ofIndia, the AICTE and the UGC, and Representatives of Technical, Higher and Medical Education, Departments were, accordingly, held on 30th August, 1996 and 8th October, 1996 where all the relevant issues were considered. Pursuant to these me

etings, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, took a view that the proposed fee structure for Medial and Dental Colleges could be evolved separately, and that itwas not practicable to have a common fee structure for all professional Unaidedinstitutions generally. 5.0 To take a final view in the matter, a meeting of State Higher and Technical Education Ministers was convened by the Union Ministerof Human Resource


33/50

Development on 10th December 1996 wherein it was decided that self-contained policy directions could be issued applicable to sectors of education, falling within the purview of the Ministry of Human Resource Development, namely Higher and Technical Education. The meeting noted that while the AICTE had notified its regulations and the UGC was in the process of doing so, uniform policy, directions were still needed to be laid down by the Government to cover all aspects of relevance in the light of these policy declaration. 6.0 President of India is pleased

to approve the policy on Fee determination in Private Unaided Institutions in the Higher & Technical Education Sectors, formulated on the basis of the broad principles arrived at in the meetings of the officials of the State Governments ofAndhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu and also endorsed in themeetings of the Ministers of States Governments for Higher and Technical Education. The policy is laid down in succeeding paras: 6.1 GENERAL PRINCIPLES:

The policy guide-lines enunciated below seek to ensure a fair fee structure in the relevant institutions. A fee structure in order to be fair, has to be fair toall concerned, namely the students and their guardians, the management, facultymembers and employees. The bed-rock of such a policy has to be avoidance of commercialization and profit-making while simultaneously ensuring maintenance of st

andards and upkeep of facilities and assets. Keeping these as prime considerations, the following may be identired as the broad general principles which informthe present policy framework: a. b. c. d. e. 6.2 Prevention of profit making andensuring, as far as possible, the principle of no-profit no-loss which underlines the Scheme in Unnikrishnan; Without diluting the fundamental concern of avoiding commercialization, to make allowance in the fee so as to provide for replacement and upgradation of facilities; Providing for a transparent and intelligibleprocedure for fee determination; Bringing all private unaided institutions within the purview of the scheme-not merely confining it to Colleges; and Involving theState Governments concerned in the process of fee determination.

APPLICABILITY: These policy guidelines will apply to the following : i. Self-financing institutions imparting technical education as defined under the All India

Council of Technical Education Act, 1987 (Act 52 of 1987), including institutions imparting Post-Graduate Education in Management whether by awarding degrees or otherwise;


34/50

ii. Colleges, affiliated to the universities, operating on no grant in-aid basis;and iii. Institutions deemed to be universities under the University Grants Commission Act, 1956 (Act No. 3 of 1956), if such institutions operate on self-financing basis without receiving maintenance grants from the Central or State Governments or statutory grant disbursing bodies under their control. Even though deemeduniversities are not expressly included in the Scheme in Unnikrishnan, their inclusion within the purview of this policy is considered necessary on the grounds t

reating such institution at par with private colleges will be just and appropriate. 6.3 ADMISSION:

In the scheme in Unnikrishnan, the manner and method of admissions form part andparcel of the fee determination procedures. The admission procedure incorporated in that scheme will, therefore, apply to the institutions covered under the present policy. As the UGC Act does not empower the Commission to issue regulations relating to Admission, the judgment in Unnikrishnan and the present Resolution will be constructed as enabling the Commission to make suitable provisions relating to admissions in accordance with the scheme in Unnikrishnan. 6.4 DETERMINATION OF FEE : Fee chargeable by various categories of institutions shall be determined by the Committee prescribed below: a) (i) Fee in institutions imparting tech

nical education will be determined by State Level Committees consisting of the following:

Vice Chancellor of one of the universities in the State to be nominated by the State Govt. concerned Chairperson. (ii) Secretaries in-charge of the Technical Education and Finance Departments of the State Govt. concerned or their nominees Member; (iii) Three experts, one each in Economics, Cost Accountancy, and Institutional Finance, to be nominated by the All India Council of Technical Education Members; (iv) Director of Technical Education of the State concerned MemberSecretary; (b) Fee chargeable in affiliated colleges operating on No-Grant-in-aid basisshall be determined by State level Committee consisting of: (i) Vice-Chancellorof one of the universities in the State nominated by the State Govt. concerned Chairperson;

(i) A Member of the Commission Chairperson; (ii) One Vice-Chancellor to be nominated by the Commission Member; (iii) Three experts, one each in Economics, CostAccountancy and Institutional Finance to be nominated by the Commission-Members;(iv) Where a deemed university conducts courses in Technical/Medical Education,a nominee of the All India Council for Technical Education /Medical Council ofIndia/Dental Council of India as the cases may be Member; (v) State Secretary Higher/Technical/Medical Education (depending on the field of specialization of the institution) or his nominee will be co-opted as the Member for the purposes on

ly of determining the fee structure for deemed universities in the State concerned: (vi) An officer of the UGC of the Rank of Additional Secretary Member Secretary. 6.5 PROCEDURE TO BE ADOPTED BY THE COMMITTEE: (a) Secretarial Assistance to the Committees referred in 5.2 and 5.3 will be rendered by the Directorates of Technical and Higher Education respectively of the State Govt. concerned. The Standing Committee referred to in 5.4 will be assisted by the Secretariat of the UGC. (b) Members of the Committee, other than ex-officio Members, will hold officefor a period of three years.

ebound actionCalendars and dead-lines for compliance of the institutions concerned and for completing the Committees own tasks.


36/50

(d) Fee once determined shall be in force for three years. The Committees may determine different rates of fee for Institutions falling in different classes, ifa classification is justified on intelligible and objective criteria. In particular the Committees will be free to fix different rates for institutions locatedin rural areas. (e) The UGC and AICTE, as the case may be, will have power to call for information and clarifications form the Committees under their purview.(f) While determining the fee chargeable, it will be the duty of the Committee t

o ensure that Fee does not become a source of profit or commercialization for the institutions concerned. This approach would be in conformity with the pronouncements of the Court in cases dealing with fee determination. 6.6 (a) FEE DETERMINAITON: Fee will have two broad categories Tuition fee and Development Fee.

Besides, the management of the institutions may realize the actual cost of boarding & messing form the above students subject to the relevant Committee being satisfied about the reasonableness of such costs. (b) Tuition Fee will seek to recover the actual cost of imparting education. While assessing a fair tuition feethe Committee will take into account the following: i) ii) iii) iv) v) vi) Salary and allowances including bonus, if admissible, to teaching and non-teaching employees: Expenditure on administrative services; Cost of maintenance of laborato

ries including consumables; Contingent expenditure including statutory requirements like audit fee etc. Cost of acquisition of books and journals for libraries;and Maintenance of buildings and other assets including rents and tariffs.

Keeping the above parameters in view, suitable rates will be fixed for holders of free, payment, and NRI/Foreign Students categories. (c ) The UGC and AICTE will fohwith prepare norms relating to staffing and scales of expenditure for other items wherever such norms have not so far been worked out, to the extent feasible.In case, where it is difficult to lay down specific quantified norms, the relevant Committees shall satisfy themselves about the adequacy and reasonableness ofthe expenditure involved. Care will be taken to ensure that the projected expenditure does not become a source of profit to the sponsors.


37/50

(d)

As the scheme in Unnikrishnan prohibits commercialization and profit-making, itwill not be open to the institutions concerned to claim any return on investments. This should, however, not come in the way of the institutions in mobilizing resources for replacement and upgradation of assets. Further, while earning return on investment would not be permissible, the Court had, in the Unnikrihnan judg

ement left the question of recovering investment on the Central Govt. and the statutory bodies. It is, therefore, considered desirable that the Development Feecould provide for an element of partial capital cost recovery to the Management(but not a return on investment) and to serve as a resource for upkeep and replacement. (e) Development Fee may be at flat rates to be determined every three years by the AICTE and UGC as the case may be. Different rate may be prescribed for Payment, Free/Merit, and Foreign/NRI seat holders. These bodies could also classifyinstitutions in different categories for all the purposes of prescribing different slabs provided such categorization is based on intelligible and objective criteria. (f) In the first ten years, it would be open to the managements to appropriate upto half of the proceeds of the development fee or the actual capital cost, whichever be lower. The remaining half will have to be utilized for upgradat

ion and replacements in the first ten years and thereafter the entire proceeds will have to be so utilized. (g) As the fee chargeable will be notified by the relevant Committee, it will be the duty of the Statutory body concerned to communicate the rate of Development Fee to such bodies well in advance to enable the appropriate Committees to suitably incorporate such rates in their Notification. The UGC/AICTE will take into account the views and suggestions of the private institutions, the State Govt. and interested members of public while determining these rates.

6.7

MAINTENANCE OF FEE ACCOUNTS : (a) Institutions will maintain two accounts Maintenance Accounts and Development Accounts. (b) The proceeds of Tuition Fee and cost

recoveries of boarding and messing etc. will be credited to the Maintenance Accounts. This account will be maintained in two parts (a) pay and allowance and (b)other expenditure. All recurring expenditure will be met from this accounts andbrought to account under these two parts. (c) At least half the proceeds of Development Fee will be credited to the Development Account in the first ten years,after which this Account will receive the entire proceeds of this fee ; Miscellaneous receipts of the institution would also be credited to the same account. The proceeds of this fee would be utilized for procurement of equipments, books and journals and acquisition of assets. It will be also be open to the managementto debit expenditure on improvement of faculty also to this account.


38/50

(d) The regulations of UGC and the AICTE will provide for Audit of accounts of the relevant institutions to ensure that the financial managements conforms to the broad framework of these guide-lines and the regulations. 6.8 OTHER PROCEDURALMATTERS CONNECTED WITH LEVY OF FEE: (a) Fee once fixed will be valid for a period of three years. Fee will be payable in advance for a semester. Each Committeewill notify for general information the total fee payable per semester in the month of December every year for the next year, in two News papers having wide ci

rculation in the State concerned. This exercise shall be carried out annually notwithstanding the fact that the rates once fixed will be in force for three years. (b) While fixing fee, once every three years, the Committees will take into account the unspent balance, if any in the maintenance and development accounts while fixing fee for the next three years. (c) Institutions which levy fee at rates higher than those fixed, or fail to maintain accounts in the manner laid downor are otherwise found to contravene the provisions of the appropriate Regulations are liable to have their permission/affiliation cancelled. The appropriate regulations will incorporate these guidelines. 7.0 RESOLVED THAT THE ABOVE PROVISIONS BE SUITABLY INCORPORATED IN REGULATIONS OF THE UNIVERSITY GRANTS COMMISSIONAND THE ALL INDIA COUNCIL FOR TECHNICAL EDUCATION.
