2012 ~ AAGAMA

Hyderabad: In a major setback to the state government, the All India Council for Technical Education has turned down the recent state Cabinet resolution seeking a ban on allowing new engineering colleges and fixing a cap on intake in existing ones.

The Cabinet had, on November 28, passed a resolution and sent it to the AICTE to check the mushrooming of engineering colleges in Andhra Pradesh which led to “zero admissions” in several colleges and deteriorating education standards in many colleges due to lack of qualified faculty.

The Cabinet also asked AICTE to cap seats at 420 for existing un-accredited and 540 for accredited colleges.

Sources said the decision was taken during the AICTE executive meeting convened in New Delhi on December 19 and the same was informed to Union HRD minister Pallam Raju. Surprisingly, AICTE chairman Prof M.S. Mantha had all along maintained that the body would consider imposing a ban on new colleges and the ceiling on intake if the the state Cabinet passes a resolution to this effect.

However, sources said that AICTE had now backtracked, saying that it may invite “legal tangles” if a ban is imposed in a particular state since AICTE is a national-level body that adopts a national policy and cannot have separate policies for different states.

The rejection is seen as a major embarrassment for the state government since it has recently initiated efforts to improve education standards in engineering colleges by constituting task forces to verify infrastructure facilities and faculty.

Hyderabad: The fees in many engineering colleges across the state are set to be reduced next year. The task forces — constituted by the state government to inspect colleges — found deficiencies in faculty and infrastructure facilities being offered by the colleges.

This makes them ‘ineligible’ to claim such fees as exist. The task force is expected to recommend reduction of fees in such colleges to the Admissions and Fee Regulatory Committee for 2013-14.

It was found that faculty in the majority of the colleges was “underpaid” and managements were recruiting faculty members in violation of the norms prescribed by the AICTE by hiring fresh B.Tech graduates.

Last year, a majority of the engineering colleges claimed a fee increase from Rs 31,000 to Rs 35,000 per annum (amounting to more than a 15 per cent hike) citing AICTE pay scales for faculty and expenditure on infrastructure facilities.

Out of 680 private engineering colleges in the state, nearly 600 colleges claimed fees of Rs 35,000 while the remaining sought differential fees ranging from Rs 50,000 to Rs 1.05 lakh.

The government was forced to heed to their demand as there was no time to verify those claims. However, the government began inspection of colleges to verify those claims after the admissions process concluded. The inspections are expected to be completed by month-end.
