‘Removal of bogus staff caused dip in numbers’

06.04.2019

AICTE chairman Anil D Sahasrabudhe told TOI that if sacked faculty members send him detailed complaints, he will look into the matter.

Relaxation in teacherstudent ratio cost 22,000 engineering faculty jobs in TN. How do you see this?

You should count the bogus faculty members shown in the earlier years. When the teacher-student ratio was 1:15, many colleges were not even maintaining a ratio of 1:30. Same faculty were shown in five different institutions. After linking Aadhaar number to PAN card, fake faculty members were removed. So the actual removal of faculty members is very, very little.

Colleges have submitted that they had more than 85,000 faculty members?

Due to poor admissions, some engineering disciplines were discontinued. Engineering colleges also cannot take the burden of all these faculty members. I am not saying there are no job cuts. But we have not received any such complaints.

Will AICTE act against colleges for sacking teachers?

Wherever we received specific complaints, we have taken action against managements. If the sacked faculty members come out with the name of the college and details, AICTE will look into it.
