Private intermediate colleges file writ petition in AP High Court

KURNOOL: Private intermediate colleges have approached the Andhra Pradesh High Court over certain guidelines stipulated by Board of Intermediate Education on granting affiliations to private unaided junior colleges. According to the new guidelines issued by secretary of the Intermedia Board last month, committees formed at the district-level will decide whether a private unaided junior college in that district could be granted affiliation. These committees will present to the BIE the list of colleges which have complied with norms of the board, those which have not, colleges to which affiliation may be extended and details of cases where affiliation is proposed to be rejected; with contingency plans to shift students of such colleges to the nearest private / government junior colleges. We want to know what the board has done after inspections from 2020–21 to 2022–23 and why it has failed to provide affiliations to 95 percent of private colleges spread across the state.” Prasad wanted to know what action such committees have taken against private corporate colleges in the state, which have even started unauthorised sections.
