You are requested to forward your comments/inputs on the draft Professional Engineers Bill on https://forms.gle/fTAdpnms722kuGmg9
till 10 April 2025 (extended date) keeping in view the above remarks.Your inputs will be instrumental in shaping a robust and inclusive regulatory framework for professional engineers in India.
Subject: Inclusion of Engineering Diploma Holders in Professional Engineers Bill 2025
Respected Sir/Madam,
I urge the AICTE Expert Committee to incorporate the following suggestion while finalizing the Draft Professional Engineers Bill 2025 to ensure a fair and inclusive framework for all engineering professionals, including Diploma Engineers.
Currently, the Bill lacks registration provisions for Engineering Diploma holders. To align with global standards, a dedicated category should be introduced for Diploma Engineers, similar to established frameworks in:
United Kingdom: Engineering Technician
https://www.engc.org.uk/professional-registration/the-professional-titles/engineering-technician/
Europe: EUR ING
https://www.engineerseurope.com/sites/default/files/4_173_EMC-EURINGSPEC-20220924_TD.pdf
Canada: Certified Engineering Technician (CET) or Technologist
https://aset.ab.ca/Home/Registration/Resources/Non-Graduate.aspx
Australia: Engineering Associate
https://www.engineersaustralia.org.au/about-engineering/occupational-categories#accordion-8181
Ireland: Associate Engineer
https://www.engineersireland.ie/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=oNwTkGMlsWk%3D&portalid=0&resourceView=1
South Africa: Engineering Technologist/Technician
https://www.ecsa.co.za/education/SitePages/Evaluation%20of%20Qualifications.aspx
https://www.ecsa.co.za/education/EducationDocs/E-17-P.pdf
New Zealand: Engineering Technician
https://www.engineeringnz.org/engineer-tools/ethics-rules-standards/accredited-engineering-qualifications/
Sri Lanka: Engineering Diplomate
https://www.ecsl.lk/regulations
Recognizing Diploma Engineers will enhance their career prospects and ensure fairness in professional growth.
I appreciate your time and consideration in making this Bill more inclusive and progressive.
Best Regards,

प्रिय Diploma Engineers साथियों,
भारत में जैसे अन्य पेशेवर वर्गों –
Advocates, Chartered Accountants, Architects, Dentists, Pharmacists, Doctors, Nurses, Homeopaths, Company Secretaries – के लिए संसद द्वारा विशेष अधिनियम (Act) पास किए गए हैं,
उसी तरह AICTE ने Professional Engineers Bill के ड्राफ्ट में केवल B.Tech Engineers को ही शामिल किया है।
इस ड्राफ्ट को आप AICTE की वेबसाइट से पढ़ सकते हैं:
https://facilities.aicte-india.org/Draft%20PE%20Bill-merged.pdf
जब आप इसे ध्यान से पढ़ेंगे तो पाएंगे कि Diploma Engineers के लिए किसी भी प्रकार के पंजीकरण या प्रोफेशनल मान्यता का कोई प्रावधान नहीं है।
आइए, अब एक नज़र डालते हैं दुनिया के उन देशों पर, जहाँ Diploma Engineers को सम्मान और प्रोफेशनल टाइटल दिए जाते हैं:
United Kingdom – Engineering Technician (EngTech)
Europe – EUR ING
Canada – Certified Engineering Technologist (CET/AScT)
Australia – Engineering Associate
Ireland – Associate Engineer
South Africa – Engineering Technician/Technologist
New Zealand – Engineering Technician
Sri Lanka – Engineering Diplomate
तो फिर सवाल उठता है – जब दुनिया Diploma Engineers को पहचान दे रही है, तो भारत क्यों नहीं?
इसलिए, आप सभी Diploma Engineers साथियों से अनुरोध है कि आप AICTE द्वारा मांगे गए सुझावों में अपनी बात रखें।
Google Form लिंक नीचे दिया गया है –
https://forms.gle/fTAdpnms722kuGmg9
इस फॉर्म के माध्यम से Professional Engineers Bill में Diploma Engineers के लिए भी रजिस्ट्रेशन की व्यवस्था की मांग ज़रूर करें।
तभी इस बिल में उचित संशोधन होकर संसद में पास होने के बाद हमें भी समान मान्यता मिल सकेगी।
अगर आपको यह बात समझ आ गई है, तो कृपया इस विषय पर खुद एक वीडियो बनाकर अपने सोशल मीडिया पर शेयर करें, दूसरों को जागरूक करें और Google Form ज़रूर भरें — क्योंकि अंतिम तिथि 10 अप्रैल 2025 है।
कृपया इस जानकारी को अधिक से अधिक Diploma Engineers तक पहुँचाएं।
WhatsApp, Facebook, Telegram और अन्य सोशल मीडिया ग्रुप्स में साझा कर हम एक मजबूत और संगठित आवाज़ बना सकते हैं।
इस विषय पर विस्तृत जानकारी के लिए मेरा वीडियो अवश्य देखें:

Dear Diploma Engineer Friends,
In India, various professional communities—
Advocates, Chartered Accountants, Architects, Dentists, Pharmacists, Doctors, Nurses, Homeopaths, Company Secretaries—have Acts passed by Parliament for their structured recognition and future growth.
Similarly, AICTE has released a draft of the Professional Engineers Bill, which includes provisions exclusively for B.Tech Engineers.
You can read the draft here:
https://facilities.aicte-india.org/Draft%20PE%20Bill-merged.pdf
A close reading will show that there is no provision for registration or professional recognition for Diploma Engineers.
Let’s take a quick look at how Diploma Engineers are recognized around the world:
United Kingdom – Engineering Technician (EngTech)
Europe – EUR ING
Canada – Certified Engineering Technologist (CET/AScT)
Australia – Engineering Associate
Ireland – Associate Engineer
South Africa – Engineering Technician/Technologist
New Zealand – Engineering Technician
Sri Lanka – Engineering Diplomate
So the question is – if the world recognizes Diploma Engineers, why not India?
That’s why we, all Diploma Engineer professionals, must act now.
AICTE has invited suggestions from the public, and it's our duty to demand provisions for Diploma Engineer registration in the Professional Engineers Bill.
Here is the Google Form link:
https://forms.gle/fTAdpnms722kuGmg9
Only when our voices are heard will the Bill be modified accordingly and passed in Parliament to give us equal professional recognition.
If this message makes sense to you, please create a video on this topic and share it on your social media. Help raise awareness and don’t forget to fill the Google Form — the last date is April 10, 2025.
Spread this important information to as many Diploma Engineers as possible.
Use WhatsApp, Facebook, Telegram, and other social media groups to build a strong and united voice.

Thank you.
