                           PUBLIC NOTICE (Annexure-IV)
                         Advt. No.AICTE/Legal/04(01)/2007
All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) has been empowered interalia
under section 10 (n) of AICTE Act to “take all necessary steps to prevent
commercialization of technical education”. In compliance with the provisions under
AICTE Act and in the light of directions of Govt. of India issued under section 20 (1)
of AICTE Act vide Letter No. (U.1 (A) Section), it has been decided to issue
instructions to the Technical institutions, Universities including Deemed to be
Universities imparting Technical Education in the matters concerning students.
Whereas it has come to the notice of the AICTE that Technical Institutions and
Universities including Deemed to be Universities, are admitting students to technical
education programmes long before the actual starting of an academic session;
collecting full fee from the admitted students; and, retaining their school/institution’s
leaving certificates in the original;
And Whereas, Institutions and Universities are also reportedly confiscating the fee
paid if a student fails to join by such dates;
And, Whereas the time-limit for students to join the courses/programmes is also
being advanced in some cases unrealistically so as to pre-empt students/candidates
from exercising other options of joining other institutions of their choice.
In the event of a student/ candidate withdrawing before the starting of the course,
the wait listed candidates should be given admissions against the vacant seat. The
entire fee collected from the student, after a deduction of the processing fee of not
more than Rs.1000/- (Rupees one thousand only) shall be refunded and returned by
the Institution/ University to the student/candidate withdrawing from the programme.
It would not be permissible for Institutions and Universities to retain the
School/Institution Leaving Certificates in original. Should a student leave after
joining the course and if the seat consequently falling vacant has been filled by
another candidate by the last date of admission, the Institution must return the
fee collected with proportionate deductions of monthly fee and proportionate
hostel rent, where applicable.
Any violation of instructions issued by the AICTE, shall call for punitive action
including withdrawal of approval and recognition of erring institutions and
Universities. AICTE shall on its own or on receipt of specific complaints from those
affected take all such steps as may be necessary to enforce these directions.
