Re: Re: [MTC Global] Many bankrupt colleges to shut shop in Andhra Pradesh

There are several programmes that differ slightly here and there.
For examples:
1. Electronics, Electronics and Telecommunication, Electronics and
Communication, Industrial Electronics, etc.
2. Mechanical, Production, Mechatronics, Industrial Engg,
Automobiles, etc.
3. IT, CSE, MCA, MSc (IT), B C S, etc.

Such nomenclatures have encouraged stakeholders to jump to the the
available prgs without knowing the exact learning outcomes of such
similar prgs. The result is before us.

I have another question: Whether Computer Science Engineering is an
engineering programme or not. CSE deals primarily with coding of
languages, etc.

Many bankrupt colleges to shut shop in Andhra Pradesh
Nikhila Henry,TNN | Apr 25, 2014, 04.52 AM IST
 
HYDERABAD: Scores of private colleges, many offering courses in
information technology, will wind up operations and those that
remain will cut down their intake much before Andhra Pradesh is
officially bifurcated. 


Authorities of at least 80 colleges will write to the All India
Council for Technical Education (AICTE) next week seeking permission
to shut down their institutes as the Supreme Court in a recent order
allowed AICTE to retain its powers to close or open colleges for the
academic year 2014-15, pending further orders. 


"We heaved a sigh of relief as many colleges are running in huge
losses and are in no position to continue when there is so much
political uncertainty with new states coming into being. The apex
court order has been a relief to us," K Ramadas, a management
representative, told TOI. About 300 engineering colleges are
expected to seek permission for reducing seats, he said, adding that
many colleges were sustaining themselves on fee reimbursement from
the government. 


The 80 institutes that will request closure offer courses in
engineering, MBA, MCA, pharmacy, B.Ed. and D.Ed. 


"MBA and MCA colleges in the twin states will close down by the
dozens, while engineering colleges are expected to drastically cut
down on their intake for information technology and electronics (IT)
and electronics and electrical engineering (EEE) courses," said
Ramadas. 


If the closure trend continues, IT education could be taken out of
most engineering colleges in the state, said N Ramesh, another
management representative and educationist. "However, we have no
choice left." 


Last year, more than 1 lakh seats in engineering colleges remained
vacant after the last phase of counselling and several managements
had requested AICTE to allow them to shut the gates of their
institutes. 


This year, about 20 per cent of more than 2.35 lakh engineering
seats are expected to be slashed and even B.Ed. and D.Ed. colleges
are facing a similar crisis, sources said. 


"There are a total of 620 B.Ed. and 822 D.Ed. colleges in the state.
Many colleges might not get students because of the uncertainty
looming over teaching jobs in the bifurcated state," an education
department official said. 


Managements were in a dilemma over the closure procedure till this
week, as the central government had suspended AICTE's powers to
close down or approve institutions last year. 


However, on April 17, the apex court restored the powers of AICTE,
pending further orders, and opened a window for bankrupt managements
to close down institutes that have failed to garner any revenue in
the past few years. 


Saroj Kumar Jena, AICTE regional officer-cum-deputy director, said
they were going to issue the notice inviting closures and opening of
colleges within a week. 


"We expect institutions to seek closure and reduce seats, but a
clear picture will emerge only after the notification is issued,"
said Jena. 


Experts said with reduction of seats, college managements will be
able to concentrate on improving facilities in their institutions.
"It is quality and not quantity that matters. The institutions need
a boost in infrastructure facilities, including laboratories and
libraries," said Ch Venkata Ramana, a faculty member at the School
of Management Studies, University of Hyderabad.
