Referring to the dream that India should be a Super Power by 2020, it is stated that if Engineering Education is to make its own contribution to translate this dream into reality, it must go in for Quality&Excellence. It is further mentioned that even otherwise, there is a global demand for Quality: besides moral, professional&social compulsions. The magnitude of the efforts to be made is described by the large number of the Institutions in the Engineering Education System. The concept of quality and excellence is elaborated. This is followed by describing the current status of quality in the system. Referring to the literature survey on quality enhancement, particularly in western countries, it is suggested that TQM is the most appropriate philosophy and methodology for enhancement of quality for Indian conditions. The philosophy of TQM has been elaborated and the method of implementations also has been presented. Thus, the author has tried to convey the message of TQM for meeting the challenge of Quality and Excellence which the Engineering Education System has been called upon, to face.
