Chandigarh: The All
India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) is considering a
request by some states for not granting permission for new
technical institutions, an official said here Friday.
AICTE chairman S.S. Mantha said that a few state governments had
written to AICTE seeking a halt to new engineering colleges in
their states.
The states pointed out that already thousands of seats were lying
vacant in institutions, Mantha told the media.
Mantha said the AICTE, which supervises scores of technical and
management institutes, was planning to cancel the affiliation of
institutions not maintaining standards.
"The field of technical education offers a lot of scope and we
always encourage colleges that have potential to deliver. At the
same time, we are very cautious about the mushrooming of
sub-standard colleges."
