AICTE to take action against the institutions for sharing faculty members

In a recent letter sent by the AICTE to its approved institutions, it said that it will take strong disciplinary action against the institutions which indulge in the practice of "sharing of faculty members among institutes under the same parent organization/outside".AICTE said that it will initiate an inquiry on any such complaints if found correct and strong action will be taken against such institutions.AICTE said that the sharing of faculty at two places or locations simultaneously is not permitted. The Council is responsible for regulating more than 10,000 engineering colleges and management institutions and said that sharing of faculty across institutions hampers the quality of education. "It has come to the notice of the council that some institutes offering programs /courses in Technical Educations after the receipt of Extension of Approval (E0A) from the Council is indulging in the practice of sharing of faculty members amongst institutes under the same parent organization / outside," the circular said. "The sharing of faculty at two places/location simultaneously is not permitted. This hampers the quality of technical education and also breach of the affidavit submitted to AICTE while approving/Extension of Approval," it added."This practice is viewed very seriously by the Council. The Council shall initiate an inquiry on any such complaint/information, received on the subject mentioned above and if found correct, shall initiate strong disciplinary action against the institute indulging in such practice, including withdrawal of Approval," the circular said.
