As per the report received from All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), as many as 56 colleges were sanctioned by it as against the total number of applications received from Tamil Nadu in the year 2011-12 . This year the applicaions would be somewhere around 200 by Jan 15, 2013 and about 50% would be cleared by April 15, 2013 as usual. As on date there are about 525 engineering colleges already giving technical education in the state.
There is no ostensible interest or enthusiasm for starting ITIs, polytechnics, nor arts and science colleges. The reason is obvious. Standard of technical education in the state is already known to everyone - with less infrastructure and less trained teachers all over.
It seems to be nobody' business to prepare man-power planning and estimate the need and potential in the employment market for the engineers along with diploma holders and craftsmen both within the country and abroad. Neither the State Government, nor the Central Government or their Planning Commissions are prepared to take up this exercise and regulate the number of institutions before we waste our precious resources and end up in lopsided growth.
