Model CSE Curriculum Design for India and Teacher Training Effort.

For curriculum recommendations for a large set of institutions (in a country or across many countries) two approaches are often employed. One is to provide recommendations and guidelines for the curriculum which different institutions can use to design their own curriculum. Often a key goal in this approach is to provide flexibility so different institutions can design their own curriculum in line with their capabilities, mission and vision, education philosophy, etc. ACM follows this approach for its curriculum design [1]. Another approach is to provide a model curriculum, which is a defined curriculum, which colleges can adopt and follow. A key objective behind this approach is to provide uniformity in programs across colleges. AICTE in India follows this approach.
