Facilities to Access the Online Courses is Essential.
As per AICTE Data hand book 2019-20, Page No. 130 point: Facilities to access the Online Courses is essential. What does this means?

Dear Sri Amarnath S. Jinde,
Thanks for your post.
I presume you have referred to AICTE APPROVAL PROCESS HANDBOOK 2019-20
The 2019-20 APH of AICTE, in page 130, under Appendix 6.1 there is a list of Essential Requirements of the Technical Institutions, The items No. 30 & 33 relates to Library and item #30 indicates Provisions to watch MOOCS Course(s) through SWAYAM is essential. I think it does not mean "Access to Online Courses" is essential.
It only indicates it is mandatory that there should have provision for SWAYAM NPTEL courses that's all.
Incidentally it is entirely the students' option to register into that course. But according to the AICTE APH, provision should be there in the Institution and it is essential.
Item #33 relates to NDL membership.
I hope I could explain the issue.
Sincerely,
Siddhartha S. Ray, Calcutta
