NEW DELHI, FEB.24. The Supreme Court has held that the consent of the State concerned is necessary before starting an engineering college and the All-India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) could grant no approval without this consent. A Bench of Justice K.G. Balakrishnan and Justice B.N. Srikrishna said: "the State authorities alone can decide about the educational facilities and needs of the locality. If there are more colleges in a particular area, the State would not be justified in granting permission to one more college in that locality." The Bench made it clear that the State concerned certainly had the legislative competence to enact a legislation to govern technical education. Though the AICTE was empowered to conduct a general survey regarding the location of an engineering college and collect data of all related matters, only the State would be competent to say whether a particular institution was to be established in a particular area, the Bench said.
