AICTE to conduct surprise raids at technical institutions

AICTE to conduct surprise raids at technical institutions

The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) has decided to conduct surprise raids on technical institutions across the country upon receiving complaints of impersonation of faculty members during inspection.
Once AICTE gives approval to an engineering college it becomes the responsibility of the university concerned to conduct periodic inspection of the institution.
“We have been receiving complaints from various quarters that some colleges indulge in impersonation of faculty as used to happen in medical colleges. This made us think of conducting surprise raids on self-financing engineering colleges across the country,” said a senior official of the AICTE.
Anna University has claimed that they had periodically conducted surprise inspections in engineering colleges.
“A year ago we issued show cause notices to over 200 private engineering colleges for lack of infrastructure and faculty. Later, many of the colleges rectified their deficiencies and so we withdrew the notices,” the official said, reported Deccan Chronicle.
