Dear Professionals,
How to subscribe the Web of Science and Scopus databases. Is it mandatory as per AICTE 2018-19 Handbook?

Dear Sri chinnappalanaidu,
As both of these Databases are from Elsevier Group, you may contact the local agent of Elsevier Group. I have no idea about your organization but subscription to Scopus seems somewhat overwhelming!
Sincerely,
Siddhartha S. Ray, Calcutta

Dear Chinnappalanaidu,
Cost of these resources are quite higher; I can tell tentatively the cost of Scopus would be around USD21000+18%GST. Web of Science is also around the same price of Scopus.
For subscribing these resources a university must have a higher budget and as well as the huge need of them.
Thank you.
