Alert message to the students,parents before taking admission

I strongly reommend that before taking admission in any of the college/university/institute the parents and students both should verify the fact that whether the colleg/institue is fake or approved then and then only students/parents should take admission in any of the institute.

371 Institutions Violate

i completely disagree that CIMAGE is not an approved college. I believe when it comes to giving the best CIMAGE is the only college. It has all approved certifications from the most reknowned places. My daughter is studying there and she is very happy about the teaching methodology followed at CIMAGE. DR. Anita Sharma.

List of Unapproved institutions

It is surprising to see this news item which appears to be just a release to cover up for the poor functioning of the AICTE. Many of the listed institutes have either closed or change their names meanwhile. Well known unauthorised institutes are missing from it. My institutes name exist in that list for running the Hotel management programme which was never thought of by my society.I have challenged AICTE advisor Ms Renu Bapna to prove the charge but she has denied a hearing since last two months. Similiar challenge was posed to member Secretay who accepted the mistake but could not rectify after three meetings. The chairman, when met promised investigation. Honble minister's office has not responded. What is this list worth of???? MHRD must induct some management experts to run AICTE if they intend to actually move it any more rather than keeping the posts vacant or having Technical teachers filling it and try to run management education without any exposure to management.
