Grant NOC to college: HC
KOCHI, SEPTEMBER 12, 2018 00:00 IST
The Kerala High Court has directed the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) to consider an application of Fathima Memorial Educational Trust, Kollam, for conversion of its engineering college into a polytechnic expeditiously.
The application shall be considered by “adverting to the perspective plan of the State government without insisting on NOC from the State government”, an order passed by Justice A. Muhamed Mustaque said.
Earlier, the application of the trust for an NOC for converting its engineering college into a polytechnic was rejected by the government, AICTE, and the APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University, Thiruvananthapuram.
The State refused the NOC stating that a polytechnic in the self-financing sector was not needed as there were sufficient number of such institutions in the State. It was also stated that 822 polytechnic seats were vacant during 2017-18.
The court set aside the order of the State government rejecting the NOC as it found that no students were currently studying in engineering courses at the college. The university shall issue an NOC to the petitioner in ten days as the college had already shifted students to other colleges, the court said.
