The Mashelkar Committee recommended raising the level of regional engineering colleges to which of the following?

ANational Institute of Technology ✓ Correct

BNational Technical Institute

CNational Engineering College

DNational Technical College

Correct answer: (A) National Institute of Technology

Explanation

The Mashelkar Committee recommended raising regional engineering colleges to the status of National Institutes of Technology.

A National Technical Institute was not the proposed designation.

A National Engineering College was not the upgraded status suggested.

A National Technical College likewise was not recommended.

The regional engineering colleges were thus converted into centrally funded NITs.

This gave them deemed university status and greater autonomy.
