Hi,
There are several potential reasons why the Government of India, through its Human Resource Development (HRD) ministry, hasn't provided guidelines for AICTE to offer distance BTech programs:
- Quality concerns: Challenges for implementing distance learning for technical disciplines such as engineering include comparability to face-to-face settings. Many curriculums involve practical laboratory and training therefore transferring them through distance format is quite a challenge.
- Regulation issues: Currently, regulations in India don't fully recognize distance B.Tech degrees as equivalent to regular B.Tec
