The All-India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) has approved eight technical institutions to offer evening Engineering courses with 570 seats for working professionals in Karnataka.
After a demand from working professionals from four years, the AICTE has approved 137 technical institutions to offer evening courses in the country. Among the eight approved in the State, all institutions are private engineering colleges with 30 seating capacity in each stream, and the AICTE has ordered to complete the admissions by October 30.
Earlier, there were 12 evening engineering colleges in the State. However, the AICTE withdrew the courses in 2019-20. After the demand from working professionals, the AICTE has decided to re-introduce the evening Engineering courses from this academic year and the State government has also given its nod.
