AICTE steeped in corruption

AICTE..All India Council for Technical Education...I am writing about this because this is one of the most important council which can decide about the engineering colleges and indirectly this is the one which can decide the fate of the students who will be graduating from these colleges. For the past few weeks we have been hearing a lot of things about AICTE. This is one of the example how the corruption has reached its highest point in INDIA. there are aroud 500 colleges in ap and out of these how many colleges have all the labs and equipments...I noticed many colleges having just one buliding and saying that this is an engineering college..how well the students get exposed to the practical knowledge in these colleges..Mr.Narayana Roa is giving permission to these colleges by taking bribes around 20lakhs and if it is his own son/daughter...will he join them in these colleges?

I read an article last week in eenadu titled"sankya sare sarukuvundha" which has been saying about an author named sebastean who wrote an article in washington post about VIT describing how the classes in VIT goes on with all the elctronic boards, online classes etc(http://www.eenadu.net/archives/archive-18-7-2009/home.asp)...this is something good to hear about VIT...but I dont say that VIT is the best..there are some drawbacks in VIT also..however the studies in vit is far better than many engineering colleges in Ap. when I was in VIT I thought I am not exposed to much practical knowledge but I realized the importance of all my lab work I have done in vit after I graduated and joined other institutions..I should also say thanks to Hyderabad central university and Dr. Suresh yenugu where I gained grip on the lab work..But still there is a lot to learn and I am still learning...there is nothing importance showing that Ap has these many number of colleges. whats important here is to see how many colleges have all the labs and resources...Even though I learned some of practical lab work from VIT I feel some what tough after coming to us and getting adjusted to the studies...everything is practical here..u need to analyze..get exposed to the analytical work...here u need to think about the students who are graduating from the colleges which even doesn't have minimum resources.

I think that AICTE must be completely dimantled and a new council with tough guidelines must be formed. If this is not going to happen the education system in India will be worsen furthur and no one from the other country will recognize our degree..Also I advice the parents to think before they join there children in any university or college..take time to go through the university catalogue, websites and see for the resources, infrastructure and labs available and then join your children in the university. I feel that children from there school on wards must be taught in such a way that they analyze and think practically...parents please take time to sit with your child.
I hope atleast now the government will realize and make changes in the education system..

AICTE,MCI, etc etc are are steeped in corruption
it is an undeniable and intrinsic part of our society and unfortunately desperation leads ud to fuel teh system.
which parent cares about labs when their son/daughters gets a rank of 70000 all they wud care is o get a degree in the first place
Practical work that is the key for development any day...More practical work lead to more research bent of mind and less blind faith in theory
but finally whether the infrastructure is electronic or black boards the quality of staff and students is a better indicator than the facilities, and that i swhere VIT scores over so many other institutions :-)
