BU VC's Warning
Colleges functioning without affiliation will be penalised, Vice-Chancellor of Bharathiar University G. Thiruvasagam told a press conference here on Thursday. “Parents admitting their wards to colleges should check the university website to find out whether the college has affiliation or not. There are some colleges releasing advertisements calling for admissions without getting affiliation from the university. Students studying in such institutions will not be recognised by the university,” the Vice-Chancellor cautioned.He also said that some colleges were offering courses without getting continuous affiliation every year.“They have to apply for continuous affiliation till they get permanent affiliation.”He warned, of serious action if the inspection committee of the university found such anomalies. “Kumudha College in Gobichettipalayam has been backlisted by the university. If complaints are received about other colleges, the inspection committee will visit those colleges too and necessary action will be initiated.” If such colleges continued to function in such a fashion, he would arrange for publishing the names of the colleges in all the newspapers, he added. Colleges seeking additional seats would have to apply to the university with four certificates.
