Dear Btechallsolutions Readers, In a fresh twist to the stand-off between the Delhi University
vice-chancellor and the HRD ministry over the four-year undergraduate
programme, many colleges were left dumbfounded over an order of AICTE
asking them to submit an affidavit within “six hours“ to get approval
for its BTech courses.
The deadline has been termed as “impractical“ by college principals, who could not manage to meet it.
BTech programmes were launched as part of FYUP which was scrapped last year.UGC had, however, directed DU to continue with the BTech programme and asked it to seek approval from AICTE.
Last week, about 27 colleges, stuck in midst of this stand-off, were taken for a “surprise“ when they received a communication from AICTE to submit an affidavit promising to address the shortcomings of faculty and infrastructure within the next six months. The affidavit came after review of the colleges offering BTech courses.
“The mail from AICTE was received after 9pm on Thursday and the deadline was given for six hours, which meant even before the opening time of the colleges next day . There were certain clauses in the affidavit which needed to be worked out, hence we chose not to submit it,“ said a principal on condition of anonymity , describing the deadline as “impractical“.
As a result, sources said, only about six colleges could submit the affidavit. AICTE is understood to have refused giving further extension.
