The emphasis of the post-secondary education mainly resides
in the science and technology. For Technical education in the post-secondary level,
engineering course is preferred. In India, there are many engineering colleges
which are providing quality education in the country.
The reputed colleges are Indian Institutes of Technology
(IITs), the Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs) and the
National Institutes of Technology (NITs).
Indian Institutes of
Technology (IITs):
IITs are the group of engineering institutes of India which
are autonomous .They can draft their own curricula. They have got the status of
“Institutions of national importance”.
Now there are sixteen IITs located in Bhubaneswar,Chennai,delhi,Gandhinagar,Guwahati,Hyderabad,Indore,Jodhpur,Kanpur,Kharagpur,Mandi,Mumbai,Patna,Ropar,roorkee
and Varanasi. The overall administration is taken care by the common IIT
Council which also acts as the linkage among all the IITs. IITs provide degrees
from B.Tech to Ph. D.
Indian Institutes of
Information Technology (IIITs):
IIITs are the group of institutes of post-secondary
education focused mainly in Information technology. They are managed by Ministry
of Human Resource Development. They are autonomous in administration.
National Institutes
of Technology (NITs):
NITs are the public engineering colleges of India. They
provide degree courses at bachelors, masters and doctorate levels. They are
autonomous so that can draft their own curricula. Earlier, they were referred
as Regional Engineering Colleges (RECs)
and controlled by the state governments. But in 2007, Indian central government
declared them as Institute of National Importance.
