All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) is authorized to regulate and control the technical education in India. In India, technical education has been expanding at an accelerating rate since 1990 due to the policy of liberalization, privatization and globalization. The self financed institutes have taken advantage of the policy of government and contributed significantly in expansion of the technical education. The Indian technical education system was not prepared to absorb such a fast expansion because of many factors such as non availability of trained technical teachers, inadequate infrastructure and support facility, obsolete curriculum, inadequate leaders to manage the system and institutes, inadequate finance, poor quality of instructional resources, low level of entry behavior of students, no bridge courses for filling the gap between the level of students and the curricular requirement, low employment opportunity for graduates, etc. leading to low employment, under employment and unrelated employment. Needless to say that the major stakeholders of technical education system have expressed their concern for quality of technical education leading the government to constitute a statutory body named National Board of Accreditation (NBA) to accredit technical education programmes at all levels such as diploma, degree, and the post-graduate. The NBA is the body to set and evolve standards for the programme accreditation. In the above context, it is appropriate to study the magnitude, dimensions of the work in hand and appreciate the need for continuous review of accreditation parameters and processes in the wake of emerging developments and evolve strategies to address them. The paper is based on literature review, experiences, opinions and views of stakeholders and research study. The paper briefly comes out with the evolution of accreditation of technical programmes in India, the accreditation process, its philosophy, strengths, limitations, awareness at different levels, myths about accreditation, issues related to quality of technical education and NBA accreditation, training at all levels, preparation made by institutes for NBA accreditation. Paper further goes on to analyze the task dimension, preparedness of institutions and the accreditation body, analyses gaps and proposes a strategy for development leading to suggestions for improvement in NBA accreditation process.
