A delegation
of Punjab Unaided Technical Institutions Association (PUTIA) under the leadership

(Desh Bhagat University), Dr. Anshu Kataria (Aryans Group), Sh. Rohin Sachdeva
(Lala Lajpat Rai Group) and S.Avtar Singh (Sukhmani Group) were also part of
the delegation.
Dr Dhaliwal
highlighted the problems being faced by the Colleges of Punjab and requested
him to solve the problems. He said that on the pattern of foreign university
and colleges, in Punjab also the colleges should be permitted to fill intake
twice a year. This will not only help fill the vacant seats against sanctioned
intake but would also help droppers and other students to save a year.
Sh. Rohin
Sachdeva said that in JET entrance test which is conducted for admission in
polytechnic colleges of Punjab should be not be continued. He said that in 2012
around 1, 20,000 students applied for the entrance test and 89,000 appeared in
the exam. But at the end around 9000 students took admission through this test.
He demanded that the whole exercise has wasted lot of time and money of
students, parents and institutions. He requested government to relook the JET.
Dr. Zora
Singh (Desh Bhagat University) requested that AICTE Norms for different
requirements of building, machinery and equipment, furniture and fixture etc
should be on basis of admissions done not according to the intake of seats.
Dr Anshu
Kataria, Chairman, Aryans Group appreciates the decision of Punjab Government
to permit engineering colleges to start junior science colleges. He also
requested that on that same pattern government should allow to start 10th class
in junior science colleges to have feeding classes.
