Hyderabad: Around
60 to 70 private engineering colleges in the state may soon shut down.
These are among the 174 engineering colleges that were denied
affiliation by the Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University (JNTU)
Hyderabad just before Eamcet counselling.
They are the same colleges who went to court against the JNTU-H move. Experts
from BITS Pilani Hyderabad campus, IIT Hyderabad, Osmania University
and polytechnic colleges are inspecting 164 of the 174 colleges.
Ten colleges closed down on their own. Sources
said that many colleges even denied entry to the experts who came for
inspections while some colleges borrowed teachers from other
institutions to show during inspections.
The
inspection reports are being consolidated by JNTU-H. The Supreme Court
had set December 31 as deadline for the completion of inspections.
Following Supreme Court directions experts from IIT Hyderabad, BITS
Pilani Hyderabad campus, Osmania University and polytechnic colleges
were roped in for conducting inspections. JNTU faculty didn’t take part
in the inspections.
Sources
said that about 60 to 70 colleges have declared their willingness to
shut down. These colleges have even approached the government asking for
the transfer of the students they admitted in the special phase of
Eamcet counselling permitted by SC.
Shockingly, many colleges didn’t permit the expert teams to enter their campuses for checks. “Many
colleges didn’t allow the inspection teams to enter and shut their
gates when they reached the campus. We also found that some colleges
borrowed teachers from others,” sources said.
However,
JNTU-H would also have to show to the Supreme Court how the affiliation
of these colleges were renewed last year while it was refused this
year.
