Despite AICTE nod, colleges not interested to offer 3-year evening engineering course for working professionals again

Despite the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) nod, no government, aided or private affiliated institution in Karnataka has come forward to offer three-year engineering programmes (B-Tech/BE) for working professionals.

Following a demand from working professionals, the AICTE permitted institutions across India to start engineering courses through lateral entry and called for applications from affiliated institutions. August 15 is the last date to apply.

According to sources, 170 applications were received by the AICTE, but none of them is from Karnataka.
