In a noteworthy choice, the All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE), a statutory body managing specialized training in the nation, has improved the seats of the Government College of Engineering and Technology, Jammu to 300. Along these lines, the seats of just designing school in Government division in Jammu and Kashmir have been carried at standard with the joined admission limit of both the Government Medical Colleges.

Redrafting Committee of the AICTE in its meeting hung on April 30 2016 gave its gesture to the proposition of Jammu and Kashmir with respect to increment in seats of Government College of Engineering and Technology (GCET) to 300 from present quality of 160 seats. With this abundantly anticipated choice, the State Government's fantasy of delivering all the more in fact sound human asset would get handy shape.

The procedure to look for AICTE endorsement for expanding seats to 300 was started quite a long while back and numerous groups of the AICTE, which is a statutory body managing specialized instruction in the nation under Union Ministry of Human Resource and Development, went by the GCET Jammu to survey whether the base was in consonance with the rules set down for expanding the seats of any building school in the nation.

The quite a while long battle for getting GCET's seats improved has at last yielded positive results with AICTE giving endorsement but with certain conditions versus building more foundation to adapt up to the expansion in the quality of understudies.

The interest for expanding seats was defended as 160 seats—30 each in Electrical, Mechanical, Civil and Electronics streams and 40 in Computer Sciences were horribly deficient to meet the necessity of understudies choosing different surges of designing, sources said. Because of deficient seats, the understudies trying for profession in building had no choice than to go to Punjab and different States. Presently more understudies would get suited and eventually the GCET would be in a position to deliver all the more in fact prepared labor.

As per the sources, now the ball is in the court of Jammu and Kashmir Government to choose when to begin confirmation for extra 140 seats as even the endorsement of University of Jammu to which the GCET is subsidiary with has as of now been gotten.
