Abstract

The gaps with respect to engineering faculty training and development in the draft National Education Policy 2019 (NEP 2019) have been identified. The NEP 2019 totally neglected the role, contribution and the desired growth beyond 2020 of four National Institutes of Technical Teacher Training and Research (NITTTRs). Also, there is no mention of the Polytechnic Colleges which substantially contributed to the industrial development through well trained technicians. Further, the role of various Professional Associations, Boards of Apprenticeship Training, linkages of engineering institutes, industries, government and society have been omitted. Moreover, the desired growth of Type-I universities has not been considered beyond research works. The critical analyses have brought the gaps in the policy document and the remedial measures are to be included in the validated policy document. Considering the reputation at global level, the future proactive roles of four NITTTRs are synthesized and presented.
