TEQIP (PHASE-III):
The first phase of TEQIP-I commenced during March
2003 and completed during March 2009, covering 127
institutions in 13 States. The Project helped the
Institutions through incentives and funding. Based on
the satisfactory completion of the first phase of
TEQIP, the second phase (TEQIP-II) has been initiated
in 191 engineering/Technical institutions with an
objective to improve quality of Technical Education
through institutional and systemic reforms. Now Phase
III is coming up to include about 250
Engineering/Technical
Institutions
(Government
funded and aided Institutions, University affiliated
colleges, University Constituent Colleges, Government
Sponsored Deemed Universities) which will be
competitively selected based on the pre-notified
eligibility criteria and quality of proposals. The project
will support quality enhancement in Technical
Education through initiatives such as faculty
development, curricular revision, procurement of
equipment
to
expand
quality
programmes,
accreditation of continued programs, etc. The Project
will develop systemic support mechanisms to help
institutions improve themselves holistically to self
determined targets.
The Project will be complimentary to Rashtriya
Uchchatar Shiksha Abhiyan (RUSA), a new Centrally
Sponsored Scheme designed by building on the TEQIP
experience. Both TEQIP and RUSA use prerequisites
for access to funds and both promote a reform agenda.
TEQIP III will focus on targeted support to institutions
to develop innovative practices, on specific assistance
for lagging states, and on the inter-state eco-system.
The project would also focus on the entire ‘ecosystem’ of technical education in India by supporting
State affiliating Universities to improve their curricula,
assessment and monitoring of affiliated colleges, etc.
In addition, the project would also scale-up its ongoing
efforts in pedagogical and management capacity
development training programmes for project
institutions.
a) project design: There will be two project
components: 1 : Improving Quality of education in
selected institutions 2 : Improving System
Management
b. project objectives : To strengthen institutions to
improve student learning outcomes
 To scale-up innovative and multi-disciplinary
research
 To consolidate the Centres of excellence in project
institutions
 To build conducive Technical Education ecosystem.
The project has a clear focus on the objective of
improving the overall quality of Engineering
Education.
c.
Project inputs: Component 1: Improving
Quality of Education in Selected Institutions
The component will broadly focus on improving (I)
Academic Quality & Excellence; (II) Research &
Innovation; (III) Industry Academia Collaboration;
(IV) Management Capacity; (V) Equity based
development; and (VI) Institutes Governance System.
