“The issue was placed before a committee of experts constituted by this Council for deliberations,” AICTE member secretary Rajive Kumar said.”
A person vying for the post of director or principal at a technical institute affiliated with the All India Technical Council of Education (AICTE) may no longer need to guide PhD candidates as supervisors or have research work published in academic journals, a notification issued by the council on Friday said.
Instead, the notification based on the recommendations of an expert panel, said that founders and co-founders of start-ups or incubation units may also be considered.
The council received representations from faculty members seeking a revision in the qualification requirements that have been in place since 2019, the notification said.
“The issue was placed before a committee of experts constituted by this Council for deliberations. The committee recommended expanding the scope of the qualification criteria for the post of directors and principals,” AICTE member secretary Rajive Kumar said.
Highlighting the recent emphasis on startups, innovation and incubation by the government, Kumar said the qualification criteria has been limited to academic work.
“The committee recommended having representatives from different areas and giving opportunities to industry experts to become principals and directors of technical institutions,” he said.
