MP’s Rewa Engineering College gets NBA recognition

The government college can now start a postgraduate degree course and research programme. 

The Government Engineering College, Rewa, has now been recognised by the National Board of Accreditation (NBA) thus putting it on par with premiere engineering institutes such as the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and National Institutes of Technology (NITs). The government college can now start a postgraduate degree course and research programme. 

As per a report published in News18, till now, the college was not getting recognised by the NBA due to lack of infrastructure facilities. The matter has been impending for the past three years. The principal in charge of the college, Dr Sandeep Pandey, said the engineering college management had applied for NBA grading three years ago. After that, the college was closed due to COVID-19, hence the work could not proceed. As soon as the college reopened, the college administration invited the NBA team for its recognition. Rewa Engineering College was established 57 years ago. 

The NBA grading system too will be introduced in the college. For the expansion of the college, it will receive a grant from the centre. The NBA team had visited the Rewa Engineering College back in August to check its infrastructure facilities, the number of staff and students, facilities available in classrooms, hostel, library, sports, and other arrangements.  

NBA is an autonomous body that periodically evaluates technical institutions and programmes according to specified norms and standards recommended by AICTE council.
