Coimbatore college holding UG admissions for unapproved courses, alleges AUT
COIMBATORE: The Association of University Teachers (AUT) has alleged that an aided college near the city has started the admission process for unaided undergraduate courses without getting approval from Bharathiar University.
The AUT also charged that officers from Bharathiar University are showing laxity in this regard.
AUT Vice-President P Thirunavukkarasu told TNIE that an aided college near Kuniyamuthur has released an admission pamphlet for the next academic year. "On this, it stated that admission is held for undergraduate unaided courses of B.Com, B.Com (CA), B.Sc Computer Science and B.Sc Artificial Intelligence and Data Science," he claimed.
He alleged that they came to know the college had not obtained permission from Bharathiar University for the B.Sc Computer Science and B.Sc Artificial Intelligence and Data Science courses.
He questioned how the college could start admissions for these unapproved courses without approval by mentioning the pamphlet. He also claimed many other colleges follow this wrong practice.
Thirunavukkarasu said students' future will be at stake if colleges admit students to unapproved courses.
He alleged that top officers from Bharathiar University are allowing this violation instead of taking action against colleges.
A teaching staff from the college, who did not wish to be named, told TNIE that the college administration did not conduct admissions for the B.Sc Statistics course in the aided section, citing a lack of teaching staff.

RAIPUR: Tension prevailed at Bhatanpali after a Dalit family that got converted into Christianity dismantled a temple built by them, leading to a protest by cadres of Bajrang Dal in the outskirts of Chhattisgarh's Raigarh town. The police arrested five, including three members of the Dalit family after the incident. A senior police officer told TNIE that the Sarthi family had built the temple in 2020 on government land, though there was no idol placed inside and only the structure existed. The family accepted the Christian faith a year ago, and the temple was dismantled by a JCB machine. "As the news spread, a group of Bajrang Dal cadres arrived and, claiming that their religious sentiments were hurt, attempted to reach out to a nearby church to vandalise it in retaliation, but the police intervened and prevented it," the officer said. The existing church was built on private land some 25 years ago.
