Again About LIS Accreditation
Dear LIS Friends, I would like to request your attention to my earlier mail "LIS Departments need Accreditation System and New Courses". We have a good news that Indian Engineering Degrees will soon be accredited in US and other developed countries. Read the news from Rediff.com [ http://www.rediff.com/money/2007/jul/05eng.htm ] National Board of Accreditation (NBA) of the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) is the accreditation agency for Engineering Education in India. They did a good job in getting a provisional signatory membership in Washington Accord, which recognises engineering degrees among the member countries. NBA is allowed 2 years to to bring its academic programmes, curricula and syllabus, examination and evaluation system to the international level and revise its accreditation system to make it fully outcome based, with credit system for flexibility and continuous evaluation for improved learning being the basis of such programmes.If NBA and our technical institutes are successful in achieving this goal, Indian engineering degrees will be internationaly recognised. What is the message for LIS? Thanks ---------------------------------- J. K.
