New Delhi: Private colleges cannot admit students to various courses awaiting affiliation from the university concerned and putting the career of students in jeopardy, the Supreme Court has held.
Giving this ruling a Bench of Justices Dipak Misra and Shiva Kirti Singh said this kind of admitting students pending affiliation has become a disease, and when the conduct becomes a disaster, it is a disastrous phenomenon.
Time and again, this Court had deprecated the practice of educational institutions admitting the students without requisite recognition or affiliation.
Writing the judgment Justice Misra said in all such cases the usual plea is the career of innocent students who have fallen in the hands of the mischievous authorities. Though the ultimate victims are innocent students that cannot be a ground for granting relief to the college.
