AMIE INDIA Students Forum

HI,

AMIE is approved by AICTE or not? I heard from a reliable source that all technical education in India should have approval from AICTE. If anybody have any information please share.

AICTE approval does not apply for AMIE. The equivalence of AMIE is approved by Board of Assessment, Ministry of Human Resource Development, Govt. of India.

What is difference between AICTE approved and UGC aproved?

[sagar_pg]

Dear Friends,
I think AMIE degree is not AICTE approved but is UGC approved. But difficulty in this is that in India Technical and Management (recognised) courses are approved by AICTE. And many post graduation (M.E./ M.tech./MBA)colleges gives admissions to AICTE approved course completed candidates only and some times does not entertain AMIE graduates for admission. Many AMIE graduates facing such problems.
Is there any view or comments on this issue?
Correct me if I may wrong.

Sagar Gujarathi.

Hi,
As both UGC & AICTE comes under MHRD, and the professional qualiciations(like AMIE) is duly recognized by MHRD, the institutions comes under AICTE/UGC should inturn accept these qualifications. See the facts below

1) Majority of the institutions in India are accepting AMIE straight-a-way for its mater degree programs as eligibility criteria (including IIT's and IIM's).

2) But in few others like Anna University, Chennai and IIT Bombay expressing the requirement of additional experience for their PG programmes. In IISc, it requires BSc + AMIE as eligible criteria for ME programs.

3) Very few other institutions rejecting AMIE for PG programs.

The thing here is, these amendment of eligibility criteria is formed by the councils formed by the respective university/institution after considering nature of course curriculam & entry qualifications.

I recently joined Anna University to M.E in Embedded Systems based on my AMIE qualification. Here as well untill 2009, there is no restrictions for ME as AMIE is enough. But now they enforced 2+ years post-AMIE industrial experience. We need to break these kinds of hurdles by putting joint efforts. It should be accepted that IE like institutions offered an alternate way of achieving higher qualification but it is making thousand questions when we are treated as second grade qualifiers as we are putting more efforts than an ordinary degree course. Any thouts?

Regars,
Shan

Dear Shan,
Thx for sharing info.

It is very disappointed to know that university considering AMIE as a second grade degree & asking for post experience. I would suggest you in this matter, write a mail to IEI & let them know about the situation.

IEI is the right autority to take up this matter with Anna university & right to fight with university for providing equivalent rules to AMIE students.

Let me the the responce from IEI also.

Thanks

it is really sad that universities consider AMIE as a second class course...!!!but i read letter to IEI from IIM ahmedabad and IIT bombay that they consider AMIE as a degree course...and they have students who have passed out who were AMIE...!!!! so it should not matter to othewr universities also.
