TGBIE probes fake fire NOCs submitted by private colleges
There is a group in Telangana called the Board of Intermediate Education that checks junior colleges.
This group makes sure colleges are safe and follow the rules before they can open.
Recently, the board heard from news reports that some private junior colleges may have cheated.
These colleges reportedly gave fake permission papers called Fire No Objection Certificates.
A fire NOC is a paper that says a building is safe if a fire happens.
Colleges need these papers when they ask for official approval.
The board has started looking into whether these papers were real.
It said it will punish any college that broke the rules.
The board also asked parents and students not to believe rumors while the investigation is happening.
It wants to keep students safe and make sure all colleges follow the law.
The Telangana Board of Intermediate Education (TGBIE) has initiated an internal inquiry into private junior colleges allegedly submitting fake Fire No Objection Certificates (Fire NOCs) while seeking affiliation.
The board said on August 7 that the matter came to its notice through various media reports.
TGBIE confirmed that action has been initiated against the managements of the concerned institutions.
The board warned that institutions found functioning without valid affiliation or violating prescribed norms will face stringent action.
TGBIE appealed to parents, students, managements, and other stakeholders not to fall prey to unverified information and rumours.
