Varsity grants affiliation to two govt. first grade colleges

Staff Correspondent

Affiliation denied to first year degree courses of private college in Kundapur

MANGALORE: The Academic Council of Mangalore University, in its meeting on Wednesday, agreed to grant permanent affiliation to the government first grade colleges at Kaup and Udupi.

The council declined to recognise the first year degree courses being offered by B.B. Hegde College of Commerce and Business Management, Kundapur, for 2005-06. However, it resolved that the affiliation to the second year and third year degree courses will be continued on the condition that the college recruit permanent teachers to ensure that students do not face any problem during the academic year 2005-06.

The Vice-Chancellor, B. Hanumaiah, who presided over the meeting, said local inquiry committees recommended permanent affiliation to the two government colleges.

Mr. Hanumaiah said a local inquiry committee, which reviewed the functioning of B.B. Hegde College of Commerce and Business Management on June 11, said in its report that the principal of the college is the only permanent faculty member, though the college has completed over 10 years. It has not recruited teachers on permanent basis.

He said other local inquiry committees that visited the college also noted this aspect and had suggested that the management recruit permanent faculty members. But the college has not taken any step in this regard, he added.

The Vice-Chancellor said students will be affected if the university cancels affiliation to the second year and third year degree courses. Hence, the affiliation for the second year and third year courses will be continued subject to the condition that the college recruit teachers.

He warned that if the college management does not take action in this regard, the university, after consulting the students and their parents, will explore the possibility of shifting the students to other colleges.

The meeting decided to consider the plea to recognise the diploma in printing technology being offered by the Board of Technical Education on a par with the two-year pre-university course for admission to BA, B.Com and BCA courses offered by Mangalore University. But it refused to permit admission to the B.Sc. course on completion of the diploma.

The Registrar, K. Sundar Naik, participated in the meeting.
