New Delhi, January 07: In a bid to end corruption in giving approval to institutes, the AICTE has decided to shift to online registration process and relax land requirements for new institutes.
The AICTE will also issue unique identification number (ID) to faculty members of the AICTE-approved institutions, a mechanism that will help check the trend of certain faculties working in multiple institutions.
The bio-metric impression of each faculty member will be taken to track his movement.
The All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE) will also put in place a mechanism to help students lodge their grievances against the institutes.
AICTE will revamp its process for approval of institutions by shifting to online mode from this month.
It will not allow running of any course other than MBA and MCA in distant mode, HRD Minister Kapil Sibal said.
