Headnote | Education/Educational Institutions: Rules and Regulations of State and University prescribing minimum higher educational qualification for admission to Engineering courses are valid and binding - University and State are always entitled to prescribe higher standards than what is suggested by the central body (AICTE) so as to maintain the excellence in higher education - The fact that there are unfilled seats in a particular year, would not mean that in that year; the eligibility criteria fixed by the State/University would cease to apply or that the minimum eligibility criteria suggested by AICTE alone would apply - Unless and until the State or the University chooses to modify the eligibility criteria fixed by them, they would continue to apply in spite of the fact that there are vacancies or unfilled seats in any year. The main object of prescribing eligibility criteria is not to ensure that all seats are in colleges are filled, but to ensure that excellence in standards of higher education is maintained. Also, higher minimum marks prescribed by State Government cannot be said to be adverse to the standard fixed by AICTE. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources.
