The reform process needs to be sustained and scaled-up for embedding gains in the system and taking the transformation to a higher level. To continue the development activities initiated through TEQIP-I, a sequel project is planned as TEQIP-II. As of now, the Project duration shall be up to 2016. About 32 Colleges from Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Telangana have been associated with KITE-IIT Hyderabad under TEQIP program.
