Anna University detects false claims by colleges
Madurai: Pass percentage details of every engineering college
in the State will be made available on Anna University website
in a week’s time to prevent parents/students from getting carried
away by misleading claims by institutions through advertisements.
Particulars of number of students who appeared
for examinations in each branch and those who passed
will be uploaded in the university website immediately after
the results are published, according to P. Mannar Jawahar,
Vice-Chancellor, Anna University (Chennai).
Speaking to The Hindu on Friday, he said that the Controller of Examinations had been asked to
include in website actual pass percentage of all 260-odd affiliated engineering colleges.
The decision was taken after an engineering college
in its advertisement claimed a pass percentage
of 94 whereas the actual result secured was 74 per cent.
The Vice-Chancellor participated in the inaugural function of a two-day
‘Tamil Nadu State Level Placement Programme,’
organised by the university’s Centre for University
Industry Collaboration, at the Kamaraj College of Engineering
and Technology, Virudhunagar, with participation from software
major Cognizant Technology Solutions.
Harassment complaints
Complaints of harassment on campus were received from students
against five engineering colleges in and around Chennai, besides
complaints of infrastructure inadequacies, Dr. Jawahar said.
“We have contacted the principals and managements of those colleges
immediately after receiving complaints and the university will have to take
action if such things did not stop,” the Vice-Chancellor said.
