Gujarat which is notorious for continuing its admission process for months will have to pull up its socks. All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE) officials announced in a seminar here on Tuesday that academic sessions of all technical, professional classes should begin from August 1 next year.
The AICTE has handed over a time table which the state education department has been directed to strictly adhere to from next year.
Advisor-I of the AICTE, MK Hada said that as per the Supreme Court guidelines, the AICTE has made a time table for all the states to follow for admissions in engineering and other technical professional courses. As per the time table, the states will have to seek permission for new colleges before April 30.
In the past, colleges have been granted admission as late as in June and July completely jeopardizing the admission process. "By June end, the first round of admission should be completed. The second round of admission should be completed on July 10 and the third round should be finished by July 20. Academic sessions in all technical colleges should begin on August 1", said Hada.
Hada said that the states found flouting this time table will be served a notice as these guidelines have been prepared following SC directives. Locals have welcomed this change as the admission process in Gujarat is known to stretch till September, October and even November.
Officials said that any student admitted after July 30 will not be enrolled by the universities and not recognized as a student by AICTE.
