In other words, Engineering Colleges acquired DU status solely in order to hoodwink AICTE and they have now been successful.<BR/><BR/>To say that Engineering Colleges that have simply acquired DU status go out of the purview of AICTE and somehow the UGC has the capability to handle the erring DUs is not entirely acceptable.<BR/><BR/>The court verdict seems to indicate that AICTE must act as a policeman finding out the problems with DUs and UGC will have to act on it to punish/correct DUs.<BR/><BR/>This is unlikely to be very effective.<BR/><BR/>UGC must be careful in handing out DU status to mere Engineering Colleges.Badri Seshadrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02563596810587587859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005624.post-1152976755766688052006-07-15T20:49:00.000+05:302006-07-15T20:49:00.000+05:30Badri, I think the court is right in saying so.

A simple google search tells us that, the rules for an instituition to become a deemed university, are fairly simple and the money involved is quite manageble. <BR/><BR/>After giving the DU status, UGC should have established a system to monitor those DUs.I'm not sure if any such system is in place.<BR/><BR/>AICTE's role is restricted to technical education and has a say only in engg colleges that comes under its purview. <BR/><BR/>Hence, the blame is entierly on UGC and not on AICTE, IMOJayaprakash Sampathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07005287024175750371noreply@blogger.com
