In latest hand book of AICTE 2012-13, announced that every engineering colleges except 2nd year colleges, it is mandatory to subscribe the e journals packeges i.e. IEEE, ASME, ELSEVIER etc(near about 6 packeges), which total cost approax 800000/- per annum. My question is that, is management of maximum private colleges give the permission to Librarian to buy all of these e journals packeges? if not how those colleges are maintain their standard in front of AICTE?

Dear Madam

have you same with Management College Norms by AICTE

 

Dear Asif Sir, I didn't understand your question. Please elaborate it.

 

 

 

Dear Mandira;

 

I understand your concern and it is indeed justified. The AICTE is also aware that private institutes, a good number of which were set up with a business vision are hardly interested to expend on such issues. That is why they have made it mandatory. It means those institutes who will not adhere to these mandates, their recognitions may be cancelled. There is justification behind this mandate. As you know the institutes teach technical subjects and that they should maintain certain standards so that their students gain knowledge and get quality education to compete in the market. You can well understand what standard means in the open market. Students passing out from Private Engineering Colleges never get starting salary at par with those passing out from IITs. The steps taken by AICTE is only to shorten the gap and I believe it is quite justified.

However, the private institutes can collectively do one thing to minimize their expenditure on this issue by setting up of a consortia (like INFLIBNET of UGC) under AICTE and I believe it will curtail 25% to even 40% of their expenditure.

Thanks Sir, for giving me a good suggestion. I thik AICTE also have that type of consortia i.e. AICTE-INDEST consortia. but this are also not so cheap

I understand about AICTE-INDEST consortium and that it is not that cheap like those in the University system. That is why I specifically suggested for a consortia in the line of UGC-INFLIBNET. However, the viability as well as modalities of the proposed consortia have to be ascertained by AICTE and the participating institutes in the perspective of Cost-Benefit analysis.

yes, now it is very difficult to convince the management and principal. i am also working in a private engineering colg and it is not so easy to invest 7/8 lach rupees for e-journal for a new colg. i am facing this problem and trying to convince principal sir and management.... hoping good..... 

sir i want to full information

I think this is one more threat for all the engineering & technical Colleges in India managed privately.
Why AICTE has made it mandatory to subscribe only Foreign e-Journals??????? Why India has no e-Journal publisher??? There is something Secret deals between these foreign e-Suppliers &  AICTE???? This Mandatory decisions should be verified & reconsideration is needed.
