LUCKNOW: In a game-changer, private engineering colleges of of APJ Abdul Kalam Technical University seeking closure will now have to adhere to a set of rules and regulations laid down by the state government. Also, colleges will have to ensure adjustment of their students in other affiliated colleges of AKTU. There are close to 4 lakh students studying in 600-plus institutions in Uttar Pradesh.
Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University, Lucknow formerly Uttar Pradesh Technical University is a public university in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh set up by the government of Uttar Pradesh on 8 May 2000. To reduce workload and to ensure proper management, the university was bifurcated into separate universities: Gautam Buddha Technical University and Mahamaya Technical University with effect from 1 May 2010.In 2013, as new government came into power this university was again formed by combining the two back together on 5 January 2013.
UP's technical education department has for the first time framed a policy for private engineering institutions seeking instant and complete closure. To shut down, institutes will have to provide branch-wise details of students enrolled, their category along with scholarship details, amount earned from students' tuition fee and other fee, salary of teaching and non-teaching staff and court cases if any pending against the institution. Furnishing all details, the institute may apply for closure online and provide a hard copy to the government.
Principal secretary technical education Monika Garg said, "There was no record of the number of institutions closing down every year citing shortage of students as reason. Each institution was doing it individually. All they did was move an application to the university without furnishing any details. The biggest concern was adjustment of their students in other institutions, so a need for the policy was felt.''
As many as 90% engineering seats remained vacant in the state for academic session 2016-17. There are hardly any takers for branches like computer sciences, civil and mechanical engineering in the state colleges. 89% seats are lying vacant in mechanical and civil engineering streams, while only 23% candidates confirmed admission to computer science branch of engineering.
Institutes desirous of closing down from academic session 2017-18 must apply online latest by January 31. Post no objection from the university and the state government, the institute will have to seek 'instant closure' approved by the statutory body (Executive Council). Following this, the government will permit the institue to shut shop. The government will not give recognition to such colleges for the next five years.
