Pvt engg colleges ignore CEE, to open on Aug 17

Who cares for the directive of the Commissioner of Entrance Examinations (CEE) when it comes to the opening of colleges, once the admission process is over?

The CEE had advanced the opening of professional engineering colleges for this academic year from August 17 to August 13 last weekend to facilitate minority students apply for their national scholarship. There was a stipulation that they could apply for the same only after the classes were started.

Though the CEE showed sensitivity to their needs, many of the private colleges have shown scant regard for the same and are starting their classes only on August 17, as scheduled earlier. These include SCMS, FISAT, Kalady Adi Sankara Institute of Technology, Toc-H Institute of Science and Technology,Ekm,Mohandas College of Engineering and Technolog, Tvm etc among others.

The press releases of some them that reached newspaper offices on Wednesday and Thursday did not mention any reason for not obeying the dictat of the CEE and sticking to the old schedule.
