APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University bar on Toms College to stay
The college authorities said they came on March 13.
KOTTAYAM: The APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University (KTU) will not review cancellation of the affiliation of the Toms College of Engineering, Mattakkara, despite the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) renewing its recognition. KTU vice-chancellor Kuncheria P. Isaac told DC that the AICTE approval would no way influence its decision.
After an inspection by its panel, the KTU cancelled affiliation following complaints of inadequacies from students, including lack of infrastructural facilities. The KTU had also sent a report to the AICTE detailing the shortcomings and violations and recommending to withdraw its approval. But the All India Council for Technical Education extended its approval in March after an inspection by a four-member team of officials. The college authorities said they came on March 13.
