2. AICTE supported members
Since March 2003, AICTE provided financial support to the Government/Government aide
institutions and Technical Universities/ University Departments having programmes i
engineering and technology.
The Consortium provided IEL, ASCE, ASME and/or ASTP to 60 institutions with AICTE suppor
based on the courses they offer from 2003 to 2011. These included 37 engineering and technolog
colleges and 23 universities having engineering departments/faculty. All 60 Institutions offe
postgraduate course in engineering and technology.
3. Self-supported members:
The Consortium also helped the technical institution of the country by offering the e-resources on
self-support mode. The self-supported membership started with 18 members in 2003. In 2005 AICTE
joined hand with INDEST Consortium and got renamed as INDEST-AICTE Consortium.
1. AICTE played a pivotal role in enrolling its approved engineering colleges and institutes as
member of the Consortium with 6 e-resources (IEL Online, ASCE,
2. ASME, Springer Link, DEL, and ESDU).
3. In 2007 over 23 e-resources were negotiated by INDEST-AICTE Consortium for the self-
supported institutes. The rates of subscription each year are posted at INDEST-AICTE Consortium
web site for subscription renewal. There was a constant increase

18. Conclusion:
INDEST AICTE consortia is play as most significant role in E-
Resources specially in the field of Engineering, Science and
Technology.
Its has good objectives and mission to provide good services to
its members.
There are several types of E resources are available under this
consortia with less or minimum cost.
In 2012, AICTE proposed mandatory e-resources for the AICTE
affiliated engineering colleges.
Membership libraries have build or acquire good E resources
under this consortia to reach globalization in learning and
research.
