NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNICAL TEACHERS’ TRAINING

AND RESEARCH, SECTOR – 26, CHANDIGARH – 160 019

ADMISSION TO M.TECH/ME PROGRAMMES

(BOTH REGULAR & MODULAR)
GENERAL INFORMATION

1. THE INSTITUTE:
In realization of the need for training better quality technicians to meet the large scale
industrialization of the country, the ministry of Human Resource Development (the then
Ministry of Education), Government of India established four Regional Technical
Teachers’ Training Institutes (now National Institute of Technical Teachers’ Training &
Research, NITTTR at Bhopal, Chandigarh, Chennai and Kolkata in 1967. The Institute at
Chandigarh is one of these four NITTTRs, started in collaboration with Royal
Netherlands Government (upto 1974). It was designed to meet the requirements of
developing polytechnic education in the northern region covering the states of Jammu
and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Uttrakhand,
Delhi and Union Territory of Chandigarh. The Institute is registered under the Societies
Registration Act, 1860 and is managed by a Board of Governors.
The institute started with long term teachers’ training programmes for polytechnic
teachers in 1967 and was also entrusted with the responsibility of promoting curriculum
development work for the states in the region. To improve the competence of teachers
for implementing new curricula designed by this institute, short term courses have been
offered since 1967. The institute established a Media Centre in 1981 for preparing print
& non-print instructional materials.
The institute also set up the department of Rural Development and the department of
Entrepreneurship Development to assist polytechnics in directing their efforts towards
training manpower and disseminating information in these areas. The Educational
Television and Computer Science departments were established in the year 1981and 1982
respectively. Since 1983, the institute has been guiding and assisting the states in the
areas of Educational Planning and Management. Since 1992, the institute started offering
Regular Master of Engineering Programmes in (i) Engineering Education and (ii)
Manufacturing Technology. In the year 1994, two more courses namely Master of
Engineering in Construction Technology and Management and Computer Science
and Engineering were added. In the year 1998, two more Master of Engineering
Programmes in Instrumentation and Control and Electronics and Communication
Engineering were added, and, since 2005, the institute started offering Modular Master
of Engineering Programmes in all the above disciplines. All these programmes, being
offered for teachers of technical institutions and their administrators, professionals from
industry and general candidates, are duly approved by AICTE and affiliated to Panjab
University, Chandigarh.

1
Since June 2001, this institute has been conducting short term courses in various subjects
for faculty of Engineering Colleges in addition to organizing AICTE sponsored Induction
Training Programmes.

UPGRADATION OF THE INSTITUTE

The institute has been upgraded and renamed as National Institute of Technical
Teachers’ Training and Research on 18 November, 2003 with an objective to play a
wider role for the improvement of Technical Education in the country. Director is the

2. RATIONALE FOR INTRODUCTION OF MASTER OF ENGINEERING

PROGRAMMES

To keep pace with rapid advancement in technology, the country requires high quality
manpower with technical and managerial capabilities in 21st century. There are primarily
three distinct categories of technical manpower needed by the industry in the country,
i.e., engineers, technicians and skilled workers. Personnel of each of these categories play
an equally important role in the day-to-day running as well as the development and
growth of industry. Technicians are responsible for undertaking and managing various
activities at different levels, on the shop floor and in the field. The institutions which are
training technicians, therefore, need teachers who have the required knowledge and skills
to train good technicians and engineers.

3
 Thus, there arose a great need to reorient and upgrade the knowledge and skills of
existing teachers of technical institutions through INDUSTRY ORIENTED AND
PRACTICE BASED PROGRAMMES IN ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY AT
MASTER’S DEGREE LEVEL. These programmes will help develop the professional
capabilities desired by teachers for training technicians/engineers that would meet the
changing requirements of industry.

Apart from teaching, there are some very significant aspects of technical education
management and training towards which the people are working in the technical
education system. To meet the training requirements of such personnel engaged in the
planning and management of technical education, curriculum development, instructional
material development, rural and community development, entrepreneurship development,
industry-institute interaction etc. at various levels, there was an urgent need that a
Master’s degree programme in Engineering Education which provides different
specializations matching the emerging requirements be instituted. In view of the
foregoing, the institute started offering the following programmes:

a) Master of Engineering Programmes (Regular)

Recognizing the need to provide professionally trained teachers and administrators for
the technical education system as also to offer professional development opportunities to
working technical and training personnel in the industry, NITTTR Chandigarh started
offering Master of Engineering Programmes since 1992. These programmes, being
offered in six disciplines, are affiliated to Panjab University, Chandigarh.

These programmes are distinctly different from the conventional Master of Engineering
programmes offered in engineering institutions as these are industry oriented and
practice based. Instructional activities in these programmes focus on the development of
professional capabilities required by the target group through class room teaching,
laboratory work, self-learning and project oriented activities related to real life problems
in industry and technical education system.

b) Master of Engineering Programmes (Modular)

Towards facilitating qualification enhancement of teachers in technical institutes who

hold a Bachelor’s degree in their respective disciplines and aspire to enhance their
qualifications, the institute designed and developed a new path breaking system and
approached All India Council for Technical Education, New Delhi and Panjab
University, Chandigarh for approval of Master of Engineering Modular Programmes.
With approvals secured, the institute started offering these programmes in six disciplines
namely (i) M.Tech. Engineering Education (ii) ME Manufacturing Technology (iii) ME
Construction Technology and Management (iv) ME Computer Science & Engineering (v)
ME Instrumentation & Control (vi) ME Electronics & Communication Engineering w.e.f.
June, 2005, thus creating a new era in technical education in the country.

Plus + Total Score
% of marks in M.A/ M.Sc. X 0.2
The candidates must write in the application form, the maximum marks, marks obtained
in each of eight semesters/four years and the exact percentage of aggregate marks.
(ii) Experience
One score for each number of completed years of total experience on the last day of
receiving application gained after obtaining minimum entry qualification subject to a
maximum of ten. Experience against leave vacancy, visiting/guest faculty will not be
counted.
Note: The total score calculated based on qualifications and experience as mentioned in

so calculated, seniority in age will be the deciding factor for their inter-se merit.
(b) General Candidates

all 8 semesters/4 years of B.E. or its equivalent. In case of a tie in the score of merit so
calculated, seniority in age will be the deciding factor for their inter-se merit.

programmes only. The names of GATE qualified general candidates, if admitted, on the
