Tech colleges drop AIEEE application
Engineering Entrance
,
Following Mahamaya Technical University's (MTU) probe into the admission procedure of 24 colleges that had applied directly to the AIEEE for spot counselling, 11 of them have withdrawn their application. However, MTU officials said the matter has been referred to the Central Admission Board (CAB) and any decision regarding punitive action will be taken by them.
Officials said the 24 colleges had submitted their documents, but they should have ideally consulted MTU first. "We would have told them that applying for spot admission while bypassing the MTU was a direct violation of the Supreme Court's guidelines for a single-window admission into technical universities, the UP government's guidelines on admissions for technical courses, and the rules set down by MTU," said SK Kak, vice chancellor, MTU. The university had previously asked the errant colleges to send the documents that had been sent by them to AIEEE on whose basis they had applied for direct spot counselling.
"The colleges have told us that they will not be taking in students through spot applications," said an official. MTU's examination controller, JP Pandey, expressed fear that if any of these colleges admit a student through spot counselling, he/she will be in a fix since the university would not be able to enroll him.
