New Delhi: The All-India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) is revamping the curriculum of the BBA, BCA, and BBM courses in the country. “The new syllabus and textbooks will be implemented in the coming academic year. The structure of the exams will also be changed,” said AICTE chairman Prof T G Sitharam.
Under the new arrangement, the AICTE will oversee the conduct of these courses, even though they will continue to be under the University Grants Commission (UGC). In fact, the institutions conducting these courses would also have to gain the approval of AICTE. “The curriculum will be revised after consultations with experts in the technical education and management sectors,” said the chairman.
BBA and BCA courses are offered by several institutions in Kerala, including arts and science colleges. Authorities said that AICTE approval could be obtained by uploading the documents mentioned in the AISHE (All-India Survey of Higher Education) portal. The institutions need not have to change the admission procedures, affiliation, or number of seats, they added. However, AICTE guidelines on the strength and qualifications of faculty and the number of classrooms would have to be followed.
The main advantage for BBA, BCA, and BBM when the new system is implemented would be the availability of all facilities provided to engineering and management courses by AICTE, such as scholarships, employment portals, and faculty-training programmes.
