Engg faculty to get Aadhaar-verified ID
Chennai: To prevent ghost faculty members in engineering colleges and other institutions, the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) will soon issue Aadhaar-authenticated IDs to all 6.5 lakh faculty members working in professional colleges across India. Speaking to The Times of India, AICTE chairman T G Sitharam said the Union education ministry will issue a gazette notification for creating new IDs for faculty members. "We have already approached the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) and they have accepted the proposal. It will remove the ghost faculty issue," Sitharam said. Following an expose by an anti-corruption NGO, Anna University found that around 2,000 faculty positions were wrongly shown as filled by engineering colleges for 2024-25. These faculty members were found to be working in multiple institutions at the same time.

When asked about the impact of removing the cap, Sitharam said, "Good institutions that have teachers and good placements are getting more students." On the increased interest in joining engineering courses, he said, "It is mainly due to the rise in campus placements. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Hurt in an Accident?

To overcome the faculty shortage in computer-related courses, AICTE has taken various initiatives. Highlighting those initiatives, Sitharam said, "AICTE has introduced a PG certification programme for core engineering faculty members to train them in emerging areas. They are not being transferred but allowed to take a course after completing a course. Further, we have introduced associate professors of practice and assistant professors of practice to attract industry experts from emerging areas. They can fill up to 20% of the faculty requirement through industry experts." While the professors of practice need 15 years of experience, an assistant professor of practice and associate professor of practice need five years and eight years of experience, which will enable the colleges to hire industry experts from emerging areas. He also stressed the need for continuous upgradation of the curriculum to teach industry-relevant topics to students. AICTE has also introduced the Centre for Engineering Education Excellence to upskill engineering faculty members in partnership with IITs and the Indian National Academy of Engineering. "We are planning to train 4,000 teachers from engineering colleges in the tier-two and tier-three colleges in the next three years," Sitharam said.
