Anna University releases separate list of colleges they are taking action against. Full list here

After much criticism and public outcry, Anna University has finally released a separate list of 92 affiliated colleges against which it had initiated action. The university had previously found these colleges guilty of deficiencies. Following the same, the teachers, students and their parents had asked the university repeatedly to release the list.

Quick video : 

While punitive action has been taken by the university, the COA or the AICTE against a few of them, the university is waiting for required sanctions to take actions against the others. These colleges' deficiencies include lack of minimum faculties, laboratories, infrastructure and other amenities.

The list reveals that most of these colleges (12) are situated in Kancheepuram, followed by Coimbatore(7).

Here is the list of colleges

 

A few days ago, the university had released the list of these colleges along with all other private engineering colleges affiliated to it. This had caused a lot of hue and cry. A few weeks ago, the All India Private Colleges Employees Union had filed a complaint with the Directorate of Vigilance and anti-corruption against the university for not revealing the names of the colleges, even after filing an RTI. The colleges were also penalised with 25 per cent, 50 per cent and 100 per cent deduction intake of students this year.

Last chance to clear your arrears: Anna University

CHENNAI: Anna University has decided to give one last chance to students who have exhausted the maximum chances to clear their arrears, to complete the course, university Vice-Chancellor MK Surappa has said.

The university has decided to conduct a special examination in November or December for these students with arrears to help them clear their arrears and get the degree.

Along with students of undergraduate courses, post-graduate students will also be eligible for the benefit.  

“We are giving one last opportunity to the students, who did not manage to complete the course due to backlog of arrears, by conducting special exam for them. The students should study well, clear their arrears and get their degrees as it is their last chance to complete the course,” he said.

Varsity sources said over 30,000 students with arrears will be benefitted by this decision. Officials added that detailed information about the examination will be provided in the university’s website at the right time.

The important decision was taken at the syndicate meeting of Anna University on Thursday.  As per regulations, students should complete their course within seven years. They are eligible to get degrees only if they clear all the arrear subjects within seven years, (the four year course period and additional three years after completion of the course). 

However, students who are not able to complete the course within seven years have been pleading the varsity authorities to show leniency towards them.

Adding to it, the syndicate on Thursday also approved the new rule which allows students to write arrears immediately in the following semester exams.

As per current regulations in place, a student who has failed in an exam during an odd or even semester can appear for the arrear exam only in the next odd or even semester. As per 2017 regulations, students who fail in theory course can reappear only along with regular students when that course is offered next time.

It was also decided to hold a supplementary exam for eighth-semester students who have arrears in one subject.
