In a big relief for 162 private engineering colleges in Telangana, that were disaffiliated by the Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Hyderabad (JNTU-H) and barred from admitting students in the current academic year, the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) has given them conditional permission to conduct admissions in 2015-16 academic year.
"Get conditional approval from AICTE to admit students in 2015-16"
In its latest order, the AICTE said the engineering colleges which could not admit students during 2014-15 due to their disaffiliation could conduct admissions for the coming academic year, provided they fulfill the mandatory norms and get the final nod from the JNTU-H. The AICTE directed the JNTU (H) to conduct fresh inspections to allow the barred colleges to get a chance to conduct admissions and to begin the exercise from April 20.
The AICTE has asked the engineering colleges to apply for the affiliation to JNTUH afresh before April 20 and to get ready for inspections. The order followed a representation made by Telangana Engineering and Professional College Management Association to the Centre. Association chairman N Goutham Rao said that a delegation of engineering college managements had given a representation on this issue to Human Resource Minister Smriti Irani and AICTE chairman giving a promise to fulfill the norms prescribed by ministry and the technical institution.
He said, “We were given permission to conduct admissions in the coming academic year and we have submitted an affidavit in the AICTE and HRD ministry to meet the norms.” The JNTU-H would submit a report to the AICTE and the State government after conducting an inspection of the engineering colleges. The colleges would then be permitted to take admissions for the academic year 2015-16.
JNTU-H Registrar N V Ramana Rao said the inspection of the colleges that were not allowed to participate in the EAMCET 2014 would be done in the first week of May 2015. He said only the report of the inspection would decide the fate of colleges that were given conditional permission. Interestingly, several engineering and pharmacy colleges have applied for reduction in the number of seats to the AICTE as they do not possess the required infrastructure. About 218 colleges out of total 315 have applied for cutting down the number of seats they were allotted. The number of seats that would be reduced in the coming academic year would be around 42,000. The EAMCET 2015 is scheduled to be held in the second week of May in Telangana and results would be declared in June.
