Dear Prospective QIP Scholar Your interest in the Quality Improvement Programme (QIP) sponsored by All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) is appreciated. The principle objective of this programme is to enhance and upgrade the expertise and capabilities of faculty members of the AICTE approved degree-level engineering institutions. The programme, launched by the Government of India in the year 1970, is now being implemented and monitored by the National QIP Coordination Committee (NQCC) funded through AICTE. There are three main activities under QIP scheme for the faculty of degree-level engineering institutions: • Providing opportunities to teachers of the degree-level engineering institutions to improve their qualifications by offering admissions to M.Tech. and Ph.D. programme. • Organizing Short Term Courses at the QIP Centres for serving teachers in various emerging areas of technology and research. • Curriculum Development Cell activities which helps to improve the classroom teaching and learning. These activities are undertaken by nine major QIP centres at IITs and IISc. Admission to M. Tech. and Ph.D. programme is also offered (in selected areas) in institutions recognized as Minor QIP centres. A large number of teachers from engineering institutions from all over the country have pursued M.Tech. and Ph.D. programme under this scheme. These activities are aimed at improving the standard and quality of technical education through improvement in the qualification of the faculty members of the various engineering institutions. In the past, a Curriculum Development Cell was also set up at major QIP Centres for improving the effectiveness of technical education in the country. Its activities included curriculum development and revision or preparation of monographs, textbooks, teachers’ manuals, teaching aids and other resource materials, examination reforms, organizing inter institutional programs, seminars, workshops and panel discussions, development of educational technology, creation of methodologies for formal and informal trainings, technical education of the handicaps, etc. A number of short term courses have also been organized by major QIP centres for the benefit of the faculty members of Engineering Institutions across the country. The following QIP websites will give you necessary information about the programme as well as about the requirements and procedure to apply for admission in M.Tech./Ph.D. programme: www.aicte-India.org, http://cce.iisc.ernet.in, www.qip.iitb.ac.in, http://cepqip.iitd.ac.in, www.iitg.ac.in/cet/qip.html, www.iitk.ac.in/qip, www.cep.iitkgp.ac.in/cep, www.iitm.ac.in/qip, www.iitr.ac.in/qip, www.iitbhu.ac.in/qip.
