AICTE Identifies 277 Fake Engineering Colleges In India
Published on 02 Aug 2018 by Shivi
In what is probably a shocking mirror on education in India, close to 277 fake engineering colleges are believed to be functioning in the country, with Delhi having the highest number of such institutes – 66. As per the document that was tabled in the Parliament by Union Minister Satya Pal Singh, apart from Delhi, Telangana and West Bengal have most fake institutes- 35 and 27, respectively.
The list also has as many as 23 colleges in Karnataka, 22 in Uttar Pradesh, 18 in Haryana, 16 in Maharashtra and 1 in Tamil Nadu.
In his written reply in Lok Sabha, the minister also mentioned that it has come to the notice of the government that these engineering colleges are running their courses without permission of All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE). He added that these institutes have been asked to take necessary AICTE permission, to avoid being shut down.
The University Grants Commission (UGC) is monitoring on the issue. It has also sent instructions to take steps against such institutes, the minister further added. The UGC has also maintained a list of 24 fake universities on its official website ugc.ac.in.
