Today India is focusing on its second education revolution and trying to bring out real changes across educational disciplines. As the first revolution saw a flood of engineering and management schools in the 1990s and early 2000s, the focus was more on increasing the number of institutions rather than quality and practical knowledge. At the BW Businessworld Engineering Excellence Conclave 2019, K. K. Aggarwal, Chairman, National Board of Accreditation, Governemnt of India, addressed the audience on the topic ‘Engineering Education in India. What does the future look like?’. In his speech, he brought the focus on the need for transformation in the education sector, the importance of practical knowledge, and the relationship of the industries and educational institutions.
