The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) has announced that 58 engineering colleges across India will cease operations for the upcoming 2025-26 academic year, with over 950 courses also being discontinued.
In a significant development for higher education in India, the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) has revealed plans to shut down 58 engineering colleges starting from the 2025-26 academic session. This decision comes as part of a broader review of technical institutions across the country.
Alongside the closure of these colleges, the regulatory body has also approved the discontinuation of over 950 engineering courses. The AICTE's move is expected to impact thousands of students and faculty members, and it signals a consolidation within the technical education sector.
Further details regarding the specific locations of these colleges and the reasons behind the course discontinuations are anticipated, though the AICTE's announcement highlights a strategic recalibration of engineering education capacity nationwide.
