“AICTE has always strived to nurture not just employable engineers but leaders of innovation and nation-building. Project PRACTICE will redefine project-based learning and strengthen industry-academia collaboration, particularly in aspirational colleges with untapped potential. Together with the Research Internship Portal and R&D Cell, students will gain access to meaningful research opportunities, while the establishment of Climate Cells in institutions will foster environmental responsibility and drive India’s commitment to sustainable development goals.”
AICTE-approved universities in India, with over 30 lakh students in 5,868 engineering and diploma colleges, aim to address the employment gap, particularly in developing disciplines such as AI, data science, and cloud computing.
