After two years, the IIT council will meet again, with JEE Advanced revisions and credit transfer on the agenda.

According to sources, the 23 top engineering colleges' apex coordination body, the IIT Council, will convene on Monday after a two-year break to discuss important topics like credit sharing across IITs and reducing the reliance on tutoring for JEE Advanced. The meeting's agenda also covers topics like improving scholarships and pocket allowances for SC and ST students as well as IIT accreditation.April 2023 was the last time the council met. Sources claim that the council will prioritize building an intensive and outcome-oriented peer review procedure in IITs as well as credit sharing among the 23 IITs under the National Credit Framework (NCrF) framework. The NCrF mechanism is not currently used by the IITs.A thorough and outcome-oriented peer review process in IITs, research commercialization in higher education institutions (HEIs), reforms and accountability in PhD education, IIT education as the engine of "Atmanirbhar and Samriddha Bharat," and bridging discovery and impact are among the other topics on the agenda.

The discussion will cover "the accreditation of premier engineering institutes," according to a source.The IITs should be included in the national accreditation and assessment system suggested in the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, according to a May 2023 recommendation made by the Radhakrishnan Committee, which was established to identify steps for improving the evaluation and certification of HEIs.The council is also anticipated to address attempts to address language barriers through regional languages, improve merit-cum-means scholarships and pocket allowances for SC and ST students, and address mental health and wellness measures.
