Even though Nagpur University is going easy on colleges operating without regular principals citing the Supreme Court interim stay, the
state’s Directorate of Technical Education (DTE) has decided to take action against such engineering colleges. The state government’s technical education body responsible for admission of graduate and postgraduate courses for engineering, technology, and architecture has written to all 215 engineering colleges to name a full-time principal immediately or their first year admissions would be in “jeopardy”.
The DTE’s letter is apparently aimed at many new institutions that have mushroomed in large numbers, especially in Vidarbha region, in last couple of years. Over 25 new engineering colleges have opened in the region last year and many more are likely to come up this year. Director of technical education Subhash Mahajan confirmed the development to TOI. “We do not have concrete information on how many colleges are without regular principals and teachers. We are compiling that data,” he said.
He added that the DTE was taking legal opinion on the matter as the Supreme Court had given a stay to some colleges on the high court’s order of May 29. The Bombay High Court’s Nagpur bench had directed the state government and the universities to act tough on colleges running without fulltime principals and teachers and ban their first year admissions for 2009-10 if they failed to fill up the posts before May 31.
