Now, DTE member to be a part of RTMNU Committee


By Vikas Vaidya



Taking cognizance of The Hitavada report, the office of Minister of Education has called Rashtrasant Tukadoji Maharaj Nagpur University (RTMNU) and asked as to why it constituted the committee for compliance of loopholes pointed out by the earlier committee of Directorate of Technical Education (DTE) in 48 engineering colleges. The office of the Minister ordered RTMNU to add member nominated by DTE in university committee.
The Hitavada had a talk with Director of DTE Dr S K Mahajan, Joint Director Gulabrao Thakare, Minister of Education Vinod Tawde regarding this issue. Surprisingly all were unaware about the RTMNU committee, including RTMNU bosses. When Minister’s office called RTMNU, it created ripples in university circles and The Hitavada got calls from engineering colleges who thanked for raising the issue.
To clarify his stand Dr D K Agrawal, Director of Board of College and University Development (BCUD) made a call to The Hitavada and told, “WE got a letter from Government dated November 23, 2015 wherein they had asked us to inspect the colleges on our level. Since we received letter a bit late, on December 9, the process of constituting committees got delayed.”
As per the Government order, now the RTMNU committee would have a member nominated by DTE. At the same time DTE would send separate committee to the 48 colleges.
To recollect, in October, 2015, the DTE inspected teaching and other infrastructure facilities at the technical institutions in Maharashtra. During the inspection, the DTE had identified certain loopholes. The colleges concerned were asked to remove the shortcomings and comply with it. Now, the DTE has constituted a three-member committee to check whether the colleges have removed the deficiencies or not. Surprisingly, Rashtrasant Tukadoji Maharaj Nagpur University (RTMNU), too, had decided to conduct inspections independently.

Wardha dominance continues


College section of RTMNU constituted 5-member 48 committees for 48 engineering colleges. All committees have at least a member from Wardha’s engineering college. Most of the committees have 3 or 4 members from Wardha’s colleges. Some committees have all members from Wardha are of B D Deshmukh Engineering College.

Colleges to spend on two committees

Though the member of DTE will be on RTMNU committee, the separate committee of DTE too will do the inspection. It means colleges have to spend about Rs 20,000 per committee officially. Colleges may send request to DTE to opt for one committee only and most of them are preferring DTE committee than RTMNU.

Four colleges are not in list

The inspection of 48 engineering colleges is on card that will exclude four engineering colleges. The four colleges include Laxminarayan Institute of Technology, RTMNU conducted college, National Power Technical Institute (NPTI), one of the engineering colleges run by Agnihotri group at Wardha applied for closure and Central India Engineering college owned ex-Minister Dr Anees Ahmed also awaiting its closure.

foreign returned MBBS students not to be admitted in PG in State quota

· By Vikas Vaidya Though Medical Council of India (MCI) has relaxed the rule of giving Eligibility Certificate for the students wanting to study in foreign countries, the troubles have not ended so far. Now Maharashtra Government has refused to give admission in the State quota of Post Graduate intake. Due to severe shortage of MBBS seats in the country, most of the Indian students are opting for medical colleges in China, Russia, Central America, the Philippines among others every year. Getting the degree in these countries is relatively cheaper. A student can complete MBBS abroad in less than Rs 30 lakh. In the state, the student has to pay, apart from the fee, a donation of up to Rs 80 lakh to get a seat in management quota. All this totals to Rs 1.5 crore. Earliers these students had to obtain eligibility certificate from MCI. This data has been obtained from Board of Intermediate Education to verify the age and qualifications for doing MBBS in foreign countries. Now MCI has
