AICTE permits merging of
parent-sister institutions
Earlier, colleges within
only 2 km could be merged
The All-India Council for
Technical Education (AICTE), New Delhi, has permitted existing technical
institutions for merging technical colleges running under the same
Trust/Society at various locations in the city.
Punjab Unaided Colleges
Association has been requesting the All-India Council of Technical Education
for reforming the guidelines in the handbook. Merger of institutions is one of
the biggest reforms proposed by the AICTE and this will be very helpful to all
institutions. With this major announcement by the AICTE, the colleges now will
be able to use the surplus land and building of sister institution for other
educational purposes.

Unaided Colleges Association
If the parent institution fulfills
the norms of its own and its sister institution in terms of infrastructure,
then the sister institution can be merged. After the merger, 50 per cent land
and 100 per cent infrastructure of the sister institution can be used for any
new courses introduced in the curriculum or for the establishment of new
colleges.
Anshu Kataria, president , Punjab
Unaided Colleges Association (PUCA) said PUCA had been constantly requesting
the AICTE to reform the guidelines.
Earlier, merging of institutions
was permitted within a radius of only 2 km, but now that condition had been
waived off. With this major announcement by the AICTE, the colleges now would
be able to use the surplus land and building of sister institution for other
educational purposes.
