To BE or not to BE

This is the question going on in the minds of scores of students in Chennai. But I would blame the AICTE for the same. How were these colleges allowed to participate in the counselling if they were not AICTE approved.

Questions the AICTE has to answer:
1. How did they suddenly realize after 4 years that these colleges did not have AICTE approval ? - did the supreme being come in the AICTE CHairman's dreams and asked him to act on it?
2. How did they turn a blind eye to this for 4 years?
3. What about the students who have passed out of these 'DEEMED' universities for the past 4 years ? those who hold good jobs , those who have gone for higher studies?

Questions the college management should answer:
1. How did they get their feet into the counselling?
2. Parties involved - politicians , ministers .. the list I am sure will go on...

Questions the government should answer:
1. What was the education ministry doing - plucking berries? and sitting pretty?
2. The government being the same when deemed university status was given , the usual conspiracy theory of the previous government did this will not hold.
3. With elections expected soon - what are they going to do ?
4. Will there be any legislation against such offenders - both the AICTE and the college management?

Ultimately it is the students who stand to lose , the solution arrived at will most likely be a temporary one and also will not be a satisfactory one I am sure.

I agree that I too passed out of a 'Madras University' college about 4 years ago - thankfully I should say.
Hard time especially for the students in their final year.
