AICTE approval for textile management courses

April 25, 2015 12:00 am | Updated 05:37 am IST - COIMBATORE:

Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International School of Textiles and Management here is working to get its post graduate diploma programmes in apparels, retail management and textiles recognised as equivalent to Master of Business Administration.

Director of the institute C. Rameshkumar told The Hindu on Friday that the institute offers three courses – post graduate diploma in apparels, retail management and textiles. Though there were issues related to approval for these courses in 2011-12 and 2012-13, these have been sorted out and the institute has received approval from the All India Council for Technical Education for these programmes. The institute can admit 60 students for each of these two-year courses.

“The current total strength is 70 and we plan to increase it to about 150 this year,” he said.

Students who complete the course can become entrepreneurs or join a textile unit. The institute has written to the Union Ministry of Textiles and is trying to get these courses recognised as equivalent to MBA so that the students get more opportunities when they complete the programme.

Admission process has started and the response is better this year, he said.
