Beware of bogus colleges, says VC
Coimbatore: Five B Ed colleges functioning in the Kongu region
have been identified by the Bharathiar University (BU) as 'bogus'
colleges, as they had not obtained any affiliation to conduct
courses.
Prof G Thiruvasagam, vice-chancellor of BU, pointed out during
a press conference here on Thursday that Kumudha College at
Nambiyur in Gobichettypalayam had not obtained any affiliation.
He said that students should be aware of the status of the college
before joining and added that some colleges were even functioning
without any permission from the university.
As many as 37 B Ed colleges are functioning under the BU, which
are affiliated to it. Five colleges were found to be violating
the university rules and strict action would be taken against
them, the V-C remarked.
In fact, the university will soon release a list of unaffiliated
colleges and publish it in newspapers to make the people and
students in particular, aware of these institutions.
"Parents and students should ensure whether a college is
affiliated or not before seeking admission. If they come at
the last moment and ask for hall tickets to write the examination,
it will not be entertained," Thiruvasagam said.
The V-C expressed shock noticing the unaffiliated colleges releasing
media advertisements and inviting applications for admissions
and said that the university's inspection team will ensure the
status of colleges. Many students have not realised the issue
and have already joined these colleges.
