In
what seems like a warning to students of several private institutions,
government has said that there are a number of private colleges
that have been imparting technical and management courses without the
mandatory approval from the All India Council for Technical Education.
As per HRD minister Kapil Sibal, there are 201 such intuitions across the country, quotes a report in a national daily.
The big names include Indian School of Business, Hyderabad( Admission through GMAT); ICFAI
Business School, Delhi, Gurgaon and Chandigarh; Ansal Institute of
Technology, Gurgaon; Indian Institute of Planning and Management,
Delhi; K R Mangalam Global Institute of Management,
New Delhi; J K Business School Gurgaon; M B Birla Institute of
Management Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, Bangalore; and Sikkim Manipal
University, Bangalore.
As per Sibal, AICTE
regulations say that no technical institution shall be started and no
new courses or programmes shall be introduced without obtaining prior
approval of the council.
As
per a study conducted by the government, Maharashtra tops the list with
74 such institutions followed by 24 in Delhi, 22 in Karnataka, 19 in
Tamil Nadu and 13 each in West Bengal and Uttar Pradesh.
Students have also been warned by UGC to stay clear of 21 fake universities running in violation of provisions of the UGC Act. The 21 fake universities include eight in Uttar Pradesh and seven in Delhi.
Talking to the media on how to tackle with these ‘fake’ universities, Sibal told media that AICTE and UGC
have been taking the aid of media to caution students and parents
against enrolling themselves in these universities. He added,
“Statutory bodies have also been advised to launch effective campaigns
against such institutions which are fake and to take appropriate action
under law. The media has also been requested to refuse to publish
misleading ads by such institutions.”
He
also said government is considering to bring in a law to check unfair
practices in educational institutes. According to this legislative
proposal, those institutions will be punished which claim to be
recognised by statutory authorities.
