Placement rate sees engineering colleges ignore AICTE

HYDERABAD: Institutions in the state can function without the approval of the highest accreditation agency for technical education in the country, the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), or so it seems. While AICTE last week issued a list of 43 colleges which are functioning without accreditation from it, the state government has failed to issue showcause notices to even one of these institutions. The colleges will thus continue to function, as of now, enjoying their autonomous status while conducting examinations and making placements, releasing results and even granting degrees without approval from AICTE.
