Poor results reflect falling standards in JNTU-Hyderabad-affiliated Engg colleges
The results of first semesters of both third and fourth years, released a couple of days ago, showed only 40 per cent of the students passed the exams. This is eight per cent less than the pass percentage of the previous academic year.
Bhadrachalam: The falling standards in the JNTU-Hyderabad-affiliated colleges have become evident with the poor academic results.
The results of first semesters of both third and fourth years, released a couple of days ago, showed only 40 per cent of the students passed the exams. This is eight per cent less than the pass percentage of the previous academic year.
The problems arise from the lack of basic amenities and employing unqualified faculty members. The poor quality of the labs is also another example. All these clearly show the fault of the managements of these engineering colleges.
The blame could squarely be put on the JNTU-H committees and All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) that inspects colleges every year to find out if theses colleges were meeting the required standards. The State government had barred admissions to 173 colleges that lacked standards in 2014.
The college managements appealed to the government that they would rectify their faults. Responding to their appeal, the government permitted admissions.
However, it is reported that only 90 out of the 173 colleges improved the conditions to some extent while the others hadn’t focused on the required standards.
The Vigilance department conducted raids on the engineering and other colleges of the State in the year 2016-17 to find out irregularities in the college administrations.
Raids were made in Warangal and the united Khammam districts under the supervision of Warangal regional vigilance and enforcement officer V Surender Reddy.
The vigilance teams sent reports three months ago to the government after finding many irregularities in the labs, qualification of the faculty, college building measurements and attendance register. But, no action has been taken so far. V Surender Reddy revealed to The Hans India that 80 per cent of the colleges aren’t following the required standards.
“We formed nine teams which comprised of officials from various government departments. We found many irregularities during our raids. The attendance of students in most of the 23 colleges of united Khammam district was only 20-30 per cent,” he added.
JNTU-H registrar N Yadaiah said poor quality in teaching was the reason for the poor results. He also said more raids would be conducted from the next academic year to make the colleges comply with the facilities. He suggested more parent care on the studies of their wards.
AISF leader Gummadi Raju said well-qualified teaching staff and principal should be employed by the college managements. Otherwise their recognition should be cancelled, he demanded.
