» News > Education, IIT > IITs are not in a position to fulfill the growing needs
India dominates the new world knowledge economy simply on the basis of the level of professional education and sheer numbers in engineering. The mushrooming of private engineering colleges across the country in the 80s acted as a harbinger for the stupendous growth of the IT and ITeS sectors in the 90s and beyond.
According to the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), in 2004, there were 1,346 engineering colleges in the country, with an approved annual intake of 4,39,689 students. Of them, 703 institutions were located in the four southern states and the Union Territory of Pondicherry, accounting for an intake of 2,36,545 students.
Obviously, technical education seems to be more pronounced in the south, with many students from other states seeking admission to the colleges there. In comparison, there were 112 colleges in the central region, 114 in the east, 106 in the north, 153 in the northwest and 158 in the west.
