Description A Critical Study of Growth and Development of Engineering Education in Punjab after Independence' was carried out to study the policy perspective in engineering education and general growth and development of engineering education at the national level as well as in the state of Punjab. The study also included the analysis of views and perceptions of teachers, administrators, intellectuals, social activists and beneficiaries with regard to various issues related to engineering education in Punjab. Besides, case studies of eight engineering institutions of Punjab were also conducted. The effects of policies and programmes of the central and state government were critically evaluated and secondary data from various sources was pooled up and analysed to study the various trends and patterns of expansion of engineering education in Punjab vis-a-vis at the national level. The views and perception of the respondents obtained through the interviews were analysed by making use of content analysis. The investigator himself visited various institutions of engineering education to conduct the case studies in detail. The secondary data was analysed with the help of tabular analysis making use of bar graphs, line graphs and pie charts. On the basis of the study of policy perspective it was found that in the preindependence period, the industrial policy of the British Government was based on the interests of British Capitalist class and required growth and development of engineering education did not take place.
