Vacant seats in new Engineering college: UP government to not open the college

The possibility of opening new engineering colleges has been ruled out by the Uttar Pradesh government as more than 62 percent seats in the existing technical colleges are lying vacant."Sixty-two per cent seats in engineering colleges are vacant and government is not going to open any new engineering college in the state," Technical Education Minister Ashutosh Tondon said during Question Hour in the Assembly.Replying to Samajwadi Party member Sanjay Garg's question on why such a large number of seats were vacant, Tondon said: "It happened because the previous government did not pay attention to infrastructure facilities and allowed opening of engineering colleges though they were not needed. We are ensuring that quality of education is maintained. No new teachers were appointed in government engineering colleges after 2007. We have sanctioned Rs. 200 crore for developing infrastructural facilities in government engineering colleges," he said.He further said that to prevent the name of the teacher from being used in multiple colleges, the government is linking the teachers' database with the Aadhaar Card and to prevent the misuse of the funds for the scholarships, scholarships are also being linked with the Aadhaar cards."Institutions flouting AICTE norms will be probed," he added.
