According to highly placed sources in the AICTE, the approval granted for the Archana Institute of Technology in Thimmapuram, Krishnagiri was withdrawn by the council, after it was found that the private institution has forged some of the documents pertaining to its land and the approval for the building. Apart from this, the institution also has failed to meet the norms laid down for infrastructure and faculty.
The AICTE has now written to Anna University and the Directorate of Technical Education (DOTE) informing them about the action. Sources in Anna University and Directorate of Technical Education while confirming the action said that they would take appropriate follow-up action. This includes steps to cancel the affiliation granted to the college and transferring students of the college to another institution.
The private college management was not available for comment.
Meanwhile, the Directorate of Technical Education (DOTE) has constituted a committee to work out the modalities for shifting students who are studying in another private college in Ariyalur to neighbouring engineering institutions, as the AICTE has declined approval to it.
DOTE and Anna University sources said, a committee was formed to shift the students who are currently studying at KKC College of Engineering and Technology in Jayankondam, Ariyalur, to neighbouring engineering colleges.
