Of these, there are around 800 Engineering Colleges whose enrolment percentage is less than 50%.
Engineering degrees suspended
Earlier in November, University Grants Commission (UGC) suspended
engineering degrees of four top colleges. Degree of Vinayaka Mission’s
Research Foundation, Tamil Nadu, Institute of Advanced Studies in
Education (IASE), Rajasthan, Allahabad Agricultural Institute (AAI) and
JRN Rajasthan Vidyapeeth now stand suspended by the UGC.
AICTE opens window of hope for students with suspended degree
In case of the suspended degrees of the concerned colleges, an
examination will be conducted by the All India Council of Technical
Education (AICTE) before January 15, 2018. In case a student fails to
clear the exam, his degree will automatically be cancelled.
Students would only get two attempts to qualify the examination.
AICTE is yet to release the notification about the examination that will be conducted before January 15, 2018
