All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE), high-power committee has given green signal for 'second shift polytechnics' (SSPs) across the nation to address the growing demand for technical education.
These will bring in a 'synergy effect' with optimum utilisation of human and capital resources and might help in reducing costs for students.AICTE is planning to implement the SSP model in engineering colleges to have engineering-to-engineering (E2E) courses in the same campus for more students so that the state-run and private institutions could discharge some of their corporate social responsibilities.
