Accreditation is a very important component in the selection of any technical institution. Quality standards in education cannot be compromised at this crucial phase in one’s life. The students can look out for certifications like National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) and National Board of Accreditation (NBA) which are national bodies assessing quality standards in education and these provide the student with the cues as to the competency, authority, or credibility of the institution. NBA accreditation for the institute alone is not sufficient, one has to verify whether his discipline of interest is accredited or not.
Autonomous position of an institution is another parameter which should guide a student in the selection process as it provides him with a wide range of flexibilities like excellent educational agenda in addition to providing him with the best possible platform in the choice of a course and offering ample research opportunities which are an integral part of any autonomous institution.

Academia – Students should prefer institutions having faculty with rich experience and a faculty student ratio which is the best in the industry. This aids the students in procuring for themselves a conducive environment where there is scope for real learning to happen and the student can also be assured of proper functionality. The number of doctorates in any given branch must also be on the checklist of the students’ itinerary during their selection process. As per AICTE requirement at least one doctorate is essential for each department having an intake of less than or equal to 60.It is equally important to know the profile of the principal as he is the precision instrument of the institution taking up the huge responsibility of making the students to surge ahead. One has to lookout for the number of faculty with M.Tech qualification in addition to the faculty with Doctorates.
If there are a large number of faculty with B.Tech qualification that is most undesirable. Though it is difficult, by browsing the institution’s website, find out specifics about the the institution from which the faculty have got their highest degree. If the highest degree of the faculty is from the same institution the quality of education may not be good.
Infrastructure has to be another important parameter in the students’ selection process. It includes classrooms, labs and e-Learning facilities which do play a very important role to develop the technical knowledge of the students practically as well as theoretically. Infrastructure of an institution propels the students in the direction of learning conceptual and research oriented courses. Visit the institute of your choice and ascertain if the lab facilities are good. For core branches like Mech, Civil, Electrical, Electronics good infrastructure is a must. For CSE and IT branches good number of computers with latest configuration will do. Also verify whether sufficient licensed software packages are available in the department.
