COIMBATORE, June 16
THE National Board of Accreditation (NBA) has stamped the accreditation seal on the Mechanical Engineering and Textile Technology degree programmes offered by the Sathyamangalam-based Bannari Amman Institute of Technology (BIT).
The institute is now planning to apply for accreditation of two more courses - Electronics and Electrical Engineering and Electronics and Communication Engineering.
The accreditation validity ranges between three and five years.
The NBA, incidentally, does not accredit departments or colleges, but only the degree programmes of the departments after a detailed evaluation of various parameters.
The students stand to gain in terms of the quality of education imparted and the infrastructure of the department of the accredited courses.
According to BIT sources, any institute with at least two accredited degree programmes would be eligible to receive funds from various schemes of the AICTE (All India Institute of Technical Education) such as Modernisation and Removal of Obsolescence, Thrust Area Programmes in Technical Education, etc.
Other national-level funding agencies also prefer colleges with accredited degree programmes while doling out grants for projects, they added.
