International Journal of Indian Culture and Business Management (IJICBM), Vol. 5, No. 4, 2012

Abstract: In the modern dynamic world, we are steadily shifting to a fast track of economic and industrial development. The new global scenario poses unprecedented challenges for the technical education system thereby demanding the whole range of skills for all round development of the nation. In recent years, a need for a renewed focus on higher technical education has been felt. The technical institutes need to seek more effective systems to address increasing dissatisfaction with the performance of higher technical education systems. The technical institutes need to evolve a shift away from traditional models in which most students are viewed as passive recipients of teaching, absorbing information in an uncritical way, to a growing enthusiasm for active, independent learning, which encourages deep, rather than superficial processing of information. Thus there is a great necessity for reforming Indian technical education system in line with the needs and expectations of the community and business sector. Thus, more emphasis has to be laid on quality improvement measures in Indian technical education system through adoption of proactive and innovative strategies for meeting the global challenges posed by ever increasing and rapidly changing technological advances.
