These days in India, Engineering colleges are facing lack of admissions and so, AICTE has decided to shut around 800 Engineering Colleges.
As there are around 27 lakh seats are vacant in different engineering colleges, that is why All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) has taken this decision.
“The colleges will start shutting down from next year” the chairman of AICTE, Anil D Sahasrabuddhe has said.
TOI published that “colleges that have less than 30% admissions in last 5 years would be closed down.”
According to official data, India has 10,361 AICTE approved colleges, which have the capacity of accommodating 37 lakh students. Unfortunately, only 10 lakh seats have been filled and 27 lakh seats are still vacant.
It’s the rule of AICTE that if colleges don’t have proper infrastructure or if the admissions are lesser than 30 percent for 5 consecutive years, they will have to be shut down.
In 2014-2015, a total of 77 institutions were closed down, in the year 2015-2016, 125 were closed down while in the year 2016-2017, 149 of them were closed. However, in 2017-2018, a total of 65 colleges out of 800 are approved for closure.
Here is the List of Engineering Colleges that AICTE Approved to Shutdown for the Academic Year 2017-18 (State Wise)
