Pvt engg colleges fail to disclose info on facilities, faculty
CHENNAI: Several self-financing engineering colleges in Tamil Nadu continue to demonstrate lack of transparency about their academic and
administrative set-up despite the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) mandating them to make public certain critical aspects of their functioning.
The AICTE has made it mandatory for engineering colleges to disclose updated information relating to the management, teachers, students and fee structure as on August 31 every year. This mandatory disclosure has to be displayed not just on the website of the college concerned but also on the website of its affiliating university.
However, a perusal of the websites of self-financing engineering colleges reveals that either colleges have completely ignored this mandate of the apex regulatory body for technical education or have subverted the mandate by making only partial and vague declarations about the institution.
Only a miniscule section of the engineering colleges have declared the mandatory disclosures in a professional manner. The Anna University (Coimbatore) has hosted mandatory disclosures of some of its affiliated engineering colleges on its website.
As per AICTE guidelines, the colleges must provide details of the courses offered by them, the year in which the courses were instituted, whether the course is being offered full-time or part-time or under self-financing mode, the annual fees for each course and the basis on which students were admitted. The colleges must declare if admission is based on merit, if so, whether it is done on the basis of a national level test, state level test or university / college level test.
The colleges are also bound to disclose the number of students admitted in each course, the composition of the students native candidates, other State students and non-resident Indians and their performance in the final examination with break-up of the number of students who appeared for the examination and the number of students who had passed.
In addition to these, the management has to provide the complete profile of teaching faculty members including the year of joining, designation, qualification and number of research papers published by them in local, national and international journals and presentations made in conferences.
Besides, the college has to elaborately explain the infrastructural facilities on the campus.
The purpose behind the mandatory disclosure was to help students and parents make an informed choice while joining engineering colleges. However, many colleges have failed to provide the details on their websites.
When asked about this, Anna University (Chennai) vice chancellor P Mannar Jawhar said "I will issue a circular to all affiliated colleges to adhere to the AICTE guidelines immediately."
