Rajasthan govt is all set to increase the intake capacity of technical education by 11,100 in the near future as the department of technical education (DTE) has recommended 83 more technical institutes to be opened in the state. The recommendation has been sent to the All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE) for approval. The proposal is to start 34 engineering colleges, 41 MBA colleges and 8 MCA colleges in the academic year 2010-11. The move will take the number of engineering, MBA and MCA colleges to 130, 169 and 42 respectively in the state.
Most of these institutes, 15 engineering colleges to be precise, will come up in the vicinity of Jaipur, followed by four in Jodhpur and three in Kota, doubling the numbers in the respective places. Apart from the big cities, places like Bundi and Sikar too are likely to get a pie.
“Though we have proposed a number of institutes, we are still behind other states who churn out technocrats almost three times of what we do,” said an official of DTE. “We will add only 8,160 engineers to the existing 32,187, which is not a high number,” said Vipin Chandra Sharma, principal secretary, technical education.
