JAIPUR: Rajasthan Technical University has imposed a penalty of Rs 10,000 on all engineering colleges affiliated to it. A letter dated July 17 says that all B.Tech colleges, which come under the jurisdiction of RTU, are required to pay Rs 10,000 for not submitting the enrollment list of students for the session 2014-15.
The letter didn't specify the number or name of errant colleges nor did it specify the reason in detail. Many colleges said they have submitted the list of enrolled students long ago. Further, the letter read that in case these colleges fail to submit the one-time penalty, the RTU will not release the admission cards of their students.
The letter has left many of the 154 engineering colleges red-faced. The matter has been taken up with the association of engineering colleges in Rajasthan which has decided not to the pay the penalty until they clearly name the colleges which are defaulters.
Rahul Sanghi, member of the association of engineering colleges in Rajasthan, says, "We have decided not to pay this penalty which is forcibly imposed on us without any reason." He added that it is very ironical that at a time colleges are struggling with admissions for the session 2015-16, RTU comes up such kind of order. TOI tried calling the RTU's spokesperson but he remained unavailable.
