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.

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.
