AICTE further directed the polytechnic and engineering colleges to present their case on February 16, 2018, before a standing hearing committee constituted for the purpose.

The demand for polytechnic courses in India is slowly gaining momentum, particularly in Southern states like Andhra Pradesh and Telangana . Many students from these states prefer joining Polytechnics after Class 10. More changes for the employment and the demand for diploma holders in polytechnic are the prime reasons for the high demand for polytechnic courses.
