UGC invites proposals from tech colleges for autonomy

Following that letter,the V-C has sent letters to all the 589 technical and management colleges affiliated with GBTU and MMTU universities to send their proposals if they fulfill the UGC conditions. The proposals would be first examined by university authorities and then selected proposals would be sent to the UGC.

The UGC would finally examine the proposals based on the set

parameters. At present,only Harcourt Butler Technological Institute (HBTI) in Kanpur has the autonomous status.

“The proposals of only those colleges would be sent to the UGC which have performed well consistently in academic activities and have adequate infrastructure and skilled faculty to achieve higher academic standard,” said Kripa Shanker.
