Blacklisted JNTU faculty switching to private varsities as research guides
Allegations are flowing thick and fast that a section of faculty members, who have been blacklisted by Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University Hyderabad JNTUH, have turned into research guides in private universities and they are providing guidance for the doctoral programmes as research supervisors
Hyderabad: Allegations are flowing thick and fast that a section of faculty members, who have been blacklisted by Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University- Hyderabad (JNTU-H), have turned into research guides in private universities and they are providing guidance for the doctoral programmes as research supervisors.
According to the JNTU-H sources, the university had earlier blacklisted some faculty members on the ground that they had obtained fraudulent doctoral certificates. Action was taken against these members as per section 12.9 of the affiliation regulation of the university. That apart, the university also decided to initiate legal action against them in due course. The news that some of those, who were given marching orders, are now doing pretty good in some autonomous colleges and private universities in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh came as a rude shock.
Some of them are acting as research supervisors and around five to eight research scholars are working under them for their doctoral degrees, the sources said.Speaking to The Hans India, a senior official from the university said, the university has adopted a tough posture to take on those providing false and misleading information to the university about their academic credentials,
Giving reasons for the doubts emerging, another official said, of late the university is finding certain anomalies in the data of the faculty uploaded to the university portal. For example, doubts are voiced that one faculty member having two or three employment identification numbers. Under one-identification number they are mentioning their full name and in case another they only give an abbreviated name.
