More than 70 Engineering colleges to shut down from this academic year
According to the report published in Hindustan Times, more than 75 technical and engineering institutions of the nation have opted for the ‘progressive closure’ in this academic year. Progressive closure means that these colleges will not take fresh admissions from this academic year. Most of these institutions are from UP. An official from the AIVTE said ‘The "progressive closure", however, will not affect studies of the existing students, albeit, the institutes will stop admitting fresh students and continue to function till the time the existing students graduate’. The number of colleges from various states who opted for progressive closure is as follows: Uttar Pradesh (31)Punjab (6)Chhattisgarh (5)Haryana (5)Uttarakhand (4)Tamil Nadu (4)Madhya Pradesh (4)Gujarat (4)Rajasthan (2)Telangana (2)Odisha (2)Maharashtra (2) In a newly published 'Short and Medium Term Perspectives' by the AICTE an important recommendation suggested by the AICTE is not to increase the seats in engineering colleges and institutes. Citing low capacity utilization, 49.8% (Capacity Vs. Enrollment), AICTE has recommended that no new capacity be created starting from the 2020 academic year. The creation of new capacity can be reviewed every two years after that.
