Dear Professionals, AICTE has made some changes in Appendix 10. In that few more e journal packages have been inserted like last year. Page No.134-136 My suggestion is AICTE has to mention some details like package cost (Before GOC conversion), service provider name, address and contact details in their website. Otherwise we have to spend lot of time in collecting supplier details and filling the institution details online for collecting the quotation.
