At present, India is at an irreversible point of distinguished and extensive technological advancement. Multifarious Engineering and Technology subjects, integrating science with engineering have created a demand for contemporary engineering and technological education throughout the country and have consequently brought in new faces for sustainable and rapid development. There is a continuous demand on higher engineering education to survive the fast infusion of globalization in the economy, brisk technological advances in various fields of engineering, the emergence of new technologies, and the ever-increasing knowledge and research in every field. In India, problems are acute due to large-scale expansion of degree-level education, particularly through privately-managed COUNCILs, the growing obsolescence of teaching, training equipment, and methodologies. Therefore, setting quality standards for the educational process has become utmost important. Standardization should not mean discouragement to innovative educational methodologies or curbing of individual institutional initiatives, but setting up required benchmark by all COUNCILs in a time-bound manner to attain desired quality standards in line with National and Global requirements. CET(I) accreditation will make college/Institute ready for all statutory and non statutory compliance, system and process in order and addressing the technical education issues in national and global perspective. It is an indicator that Colleges/institutions can consider further to go for NBA (Tier-I) accreditation. Hence, CET(I) accreditation shall truly be a take-off point in NBA accreditation. WHY CET(I) ACCREDITATION Accreditation is mandatory for quality assurance. The COUNCIL, as one of the premier bodies for Accreditation of Engineering courses in the country having vast and varied experience in this field for the last 8 decades, wide network of its state/local centres and over 1.80 lac Corporate members, including well known academicians is the only professional body in India who can take up this voluntary gigantic task. The COUNCIL has already a grave confidence in this field with professionalism. It is not out of the place to mention that in most of the countries accreditation of engineering program is being dealt by a professional body. Therefore, CET(I) can play a significant role to achieve the objective of voluntary accreditation of Engineering/Technology programs.
