India: Technical Engineering Educational Quality Improvement II

closed

The objective of the Second Technical/Engineering Education Quality Improvement Project for India is to strengthen selected institutions to produce more employable and higher quality engineers and prepare more post-graduate students to reduce faculty shortage. There are two components of the project. The first component of the project is improving quality of education in selected institutions. This component will support around 200 competitively selected engineering education institutions through two funding windows to strengthen institutions to improve learning outcomes and employability; and to scale up post-graduate education, research, development, and innovation. The faculty of these institutions will also be offered pedagogical training. The second component of the project is improving system management. This component will build capacity of technical education policy planners and administrators; and it will enhance the collection and use of information to assess and improve the performance of the selected institutions.
