Mohammed Younus / Hyderabad : Police have speeded up investigation in the alleged fraud roster system for maintaining faculty members by minimum 16 engineering colleges in Rangareddy, Nalgonda and Khammam districts. The police raided these colleges after a formal complaint was lodged by the Registrar of the Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University Hyderabad stating that several engineering colleges were running with the same faculty members.
These 16 engineering colleges are among the 174 colleges that were debarred from taking part in the Eamcet 2014 counseling last year by JNTU for failing to fulfil the mandatory AICTE norms
These 16 engineering colleges are among the 174 colleges that were debarred from taking part in the Eamcet 2014 counseling last year by JNTU for failing to fulfil the mandatory AICTE norms. It has come to light that during the second round of inspection by officials, these colleges were indulging in dubious practices by showing ‘fake’ faculty members. The registrar of the varsity complained that the colleges have taken the services of middle men for recruiting temporary faculty only for the period of inspection.
However, no arrests have been made in this regard. The police have slapped cases against the college managements under Section 420 and 109 of CrPC. The complaint also states that these colleges were fooling officials and inspection teams by presenting fake student list for the sake of claiming fee reimbursement from the government. Responding to the development, Telangana Engineering and Professional College Managements Association chairman N Goutham Rao said that due to lack of faculty at the time of inspection, the managements of some colleges might have appointed lecturers in hurry without verifying their teaching details.
He said that this could be the mischief of some teachers working as Assistant Professors and Associate Professors in different colleges. He however denied any role of managements and said that proper scrutiny by police officials will clarify the matter. JNTUH authorities have informed that complaints would be filed against several other colleges which have committed a similar mistake. “Presently, the complaints have been lodged only against colleges with concrete evidence,” said an official from the university. However, no arrest has been made in this issue so far by the police.
