AICTE Urged to Probe Engineering College Irregularities in A.P.
Imagine some schools in Andhra Pradesh might not be following the rules for how they teach and grade students.
The people who work at these schools have asked a big education group called AICTE to check them out.
They're worried some schools are offering online classes without permission or making up grades.
They think some schools are lying about how many students get jobs and charging students extra fees.
They've also found issues like fake degrees and not enough teachers at some schools.
The workers want AICTE to make sure these schools are doing things the right way to give students a fair education.
APTPIEA urged AICTE to probe alleged irregularities in some private deemed universities.
The association alleged some universities offered unapproved online programs, violating UGC and AICTE norms.
APTPIEA accused universities of manipulating student attendance and assessments, leading to dishonest academic outcomes.
They also alleged inflated placement statistics and hidden fees imposed on students.
The association leaders also reported irregularities in JNTU-Kakinada affiliated colleges, including a fake Ph.D. holder and insufficient faculty.
