VIBSA - New Super Regulator for Higher Education excluding medical and Law.



Vikshit Bharat Shiksha Adheekshan Bill (VIBSA)
The Vikshit Bharat Shiksha Adheekshan Bill (VIBSA) is not a formally enacted Act of Parliament as of now. The term is generally used in academic discussions, policy drafts, or conceptual proposals to describe a proposed education oversight and inspection framework aligned with the vision of “Viksit Bharat @2047” and the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.
In simple terms, VIBSA refers to an education inspection and supervision mechanism intended to improve quality, accountability, and outcomes across India’s education system.

  The Department of Electronic Systems Engineering (ESE), Indian Institute of Science (IISc) is launching a Final Semester Project Internship Programme for final-year B.Tech and M.Tech students, running from 15th January to 15th May, 2026. This programme aims to provide students with early exposure to the serious research culture at IISc by embedding them full-time in an ESE laboratory to work on well-defined research or technology projects. The areas span a broad spectrum of electronics, including quantum technologies and quantum information, semiconductor and nanoelectronic devices, VLSI and hardware systems, healthcare technologies, communications, signal processing, and systems research. Students may use the work carried out during this internship to fulfil their final semester project requirements at their home institutions, subject to institutional norms.

UGC, AICTE and NCTE will be merged as HECI

Here is a brief note on the proposed merger of University Grants Commission (UGC), All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) and National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) into Higher Education Commission of India (HECI) — what it means, why it’s being done, and some of the key features & concerns. --- ✅ Why the merger is being considered Under the current system, UGC regulates non-technical higher education (general/university colleges), AICTE regulates technical and professional education (engineering, management, etc.), and NCTE oversees teacher education.  This fragmented regulatory structure is often criticized for overlapping jurisdictions, delays, redundant approvals, and bureaucratic complexity — especially for institutions offering multi-disciplinary courses. Merging them into a single body aims to simplify regulation and improve coherence.  The idea for HECI was formally proposed under the National Education Policy 2020 (NEP 2020), which en...
