Dear Mr Reddy,
This refers to your mail to Mr Suraj Singh on the subject which has been forwarded to me. Regarding IEI qualifications, a few points need clarification & understanding as below:
(a) This qualification ,by virtue of the AICTE Act, does not come under AICTE as this is non formal course and AICTE deals only with formal courses in Engineering, Management and Pharmacy. Hence recognition by AICTE is not applicable .
(b) Non formal courses are assessed and recognised by Ministry of HRD, Govt of India through its own High Level Committee. MHRD is the only authority to recognise such courses. There are 6 professional engineering institutions in India whose courses are recognised by MHRD. These include Institution of Electronic & Telecommunication Engineers, Indian Institution of Chemical Engineers, Aeronautical Society of India, Indian Institute of Metal etc.
(c) IEI courses are recognised by UGC, UPSC and many other institutions like IITs & IIMs independently as they have independent Academic Councils for recognition of programmes for admissions in their programmes.
(d) Copies of recognition of UGC & UPSC are attached.
(e) The newest recognition of IEI Course by MHRD is much cleaner as it recognises IEI qualification as equivalent to University degree for all purposes.
2. Most of the developed countries including UK, Canada etc are now insisting on recognising engineering qualifications based up on Washington Accord membership which India does not have as yet. In such a scenario, each receiving institute assesses incoming qualification on its own. We have a large number of IEI graduates who have got admission for PG in USA, UK, Australia etc Similarly, many of them have received work permits in these countries.
3. Kindly do send the letter issued by NARIC-UK to understand the problem and doing the needful from this end.
Regards
