According to Supreme Court guidelines, affiliations have to be granted before May 15 every year
Supreme Court of India
Hyderabad: Private engineering colleges, red flagged by the JNTU and AICTE for inadequate facilities, are considering moving the Supreme Court against a recent High Court ruling regarding infrastructure. On Sept. 24, the Hyderabad High Court had granted colleges six weeks to rectify infrastructural deficiencies and file undertakings that they had complied. Private engineering colleges would also have to recruit qualified PhD candidates by the end of Dec.
Colleges are reluctant to file the undertakings with the court. Only about 20 of the nearly 60 private engineering colleges have so far filed undertakings subjecting themselves to further inspections after assuring that they would rectify deficiencies, according to JNTU Hyderabad sources. If they do file the affidavit, colleges face another round of inspections in Dec. marking the third such event in a year. If colleges don’t, their provisional affiliations stand the risk of cancellation and students would have to be shifted to other recognised colleges.
The same fate awaits them if the inspection teams find deficiencies in college again and their affiliations will be cancelled. Even if they pass this test, shortly after that, engineering colleges will be faced with another round of inspections by the JNTU Hyderabad for the 2016-17 academic year. According to Supreme Court guidelines, affiliations have to be granted before May 15 every year.
