AICTE has announced number of initiatives under its Quality Improvement Scheme. Share and Mentor Institutions (Margdarshan) is one of such schemes. The scheme envisages that a Hub ‘n Spoke system is to be established by an Institute of repute as a Mentor within an existing facility to serve as the hub to guide and disperse knowledge to ten technical institutions to encourage best practices. The secondary branches, the spokes, are additional services provided to faculty for self-improvement. Eventually, the Hub ‘n Spoke system will allow for inter-hamlet information sharing, such as technical education, research and sharing of resources to the entire system. VJTI, a premium Institute in the State of Maharashtra has been selected by the AICTE to serve as a Mentor Institute in the region.
