## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT

## (SHRI RAMESH POKHRIYAL 'NISHANK')

(a): The  state-wise  details  of  total  number  of  students  (Under  Graduate),  who  passed  out  of Engineering  Colleges  approved  by  All  India  Council  for  Technical  Education  (AICTE),  in  the Academic Year 2017-18 is at annexure.

(b) to (d) : As per AICTE norms, the Faculty Student ratio from the academic year 2018-19 is 1:20, which  is  a  mandatory  requirement.    The  institutes  give  details  of  the  faculty  under  self-declaration every year. However, to ensure compliance with the norms of Faculty Student ratio, AICTE conducts surprise visits to the institutes for Physical Verification of faculty and takes appropriate action against erring institutes as per AICTE norms.

(e)  to  (g): The  Government  has  established  four National Institutes  of Technical Teachers' Training and  Research  (NITTTRs)  in  the  country  at  Chandigarh,  Bhopal,  Kolkata  and  Chennai.  There  is  no proposal to establish another NITTTR in Andhra Pradesh, since NITTTR, Chennai is already catering to  the  need  of  training  teachers  in  the  region.  Besides,  one  of  the  extension  centres  of  NITTTR, Chennai is located at Vijaywada in Andhra Pradesh.  AICTE has decided to open AICTE Training and Learning  (ATAL)  Academies  at  Jaipur,  Vadodara,  Thiruvananthapuram  and  Guwahati.    Andhra Pradesh Govt. has also shown keen interest in setting up ATAL Academy in Andhra Pradesh.
