UGC / AICTE: A VIEWPOINT

UGC / AICTE: A VIEWPOINT

Most procedures of UGC / AICTE are impractical and look good only on paper. Most institutions give two hoots to the UGC / AICTE regulations because everyone knows that there is no mechanism to take any action. Even MHRD controlled institutions are involved in gross violations of UGC / AICTE norms. No action is ever taken despite reporting under signatures and complete official address.

Autonomous institutions functioning independent of AICTE / UGC are no less in flaunting the standard procedures. There are excellent procedures but for flaunting at will. Things have gone beyond the control of MHRD. Damage control may work only with a strong will power. There are no standard operating procedures either within the institutions.

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO CORRELATION BETWEEN THE PUMPING-IN OF FUNDS AND THE QUALITY OF EDUCATION & RESEARCH. 

SCIENTISTS CREATE LABORATORIES BUT LABORATORIES ALONE CAN'T PRODUCE SCIENTISTS.

The rat race for: 1) Publications in whatsoever journal (generally paid), 2) Attending and Organising conferences / workshops / Short term courses by using the internal resource, These programmes are organised by using the funds provided by the MHRD for improving the quality of education and the conducive atmosphere for the students. But these funds are wasted in internally organising the conferences / workshops / Short term courses and earning the points for further promotions. The mathematics is let us assume there are six departments and two hundred faculty members. Every faculty member attends these programmes (on paper only) and ends up getting SIX PARTICIPATION CERTIFICATES without availing any leave but instead enjoys free hospitality & mementos for which Public Money is grossly misused. 3) Awarding Phds irrespective of quality & research content. One can easily come across lot of theses with Copy-Paste & Plagiarised material on the PRESTIGIOUS Shodganga website. The funniest thing is that such unscrupulous people have even managed to get appointed by AICTE itself, 4) Widespread PLAGIARISM

is the gift of UGC / AICTE.  Please go through the following link:
