Abstract
One million engineering graduates are produced in India each year as of 2021. In terms of technical education, India has 3500 engineering colleges, 3400 polytechnics, and 200 planning and architecture schools. India possesses the greatest quantity of engineers worldwide, along with the greatest number of engineering education institutions and infrastructure. Computer science and engineering, electrical and electronics engineering, aerospace engineering, civil engineering, and chemical engineering are the most prevalent technical specializations among students.The University Grants Commission certifies institutions of higher learning including universities. There are currently about 900 government institutions, as well as 45,000 colleges connected to these universities. The AICTE must grant approval to any institution that provides technical or engineering education, including engineering colleges affiliated with universities that are sponsored by the public or private sector. The AICTE licenses and regulates the institutes, not the practitioners or individuals who run them. Since IITs, NITs, and other autonomous institutions were established by parliamentary act and are therefore free to choose their own curriculum, fees, and other policies, they are not required to obtain permission from the UGC or AICTE.[1] Central University-run engineering colleges, which were not established as independent institutions like IITs, IIITs, or NITs, are also required to apply for approval from the AICTE.India comprises eight union territories that are run by the union government and twenty-eight states that are each elected independently of the national government, often known as the union or federal government, as of 2021. Legally speaking, both of these were limited to the state in which they were established: each state is free to identify, support, and approve its own state-level technical education institutions. It can also approve such institutes in the private sector. In order to adhere to the basic requirements and engineering and technology education instructional infrastructure, all of these institutes must also receive AICTE approval. The engineering education system in India, the direction of engineering education, and well-known engineering specialties are all covered in this book chapter. The fields of engineering offers a plethora of options and choices in light of the expanding trend of technology. No matter what the situation, engineering education can solve any difficulty. This book chapter also covers how fostering invention, imaginative thinking, and education may help mold a person’s destiny.
