Anna University directive to colleges

CHENNAI: Anna University has told its affiliated engineering colleges to stop conducting placement programmes for third year students. For students passing out in 2009, campus interviews will be conducted from June 2008.

The move comes after complaints from parents of final year students to the Chief Minister’s Cell and the Anna University Vice-Chancellor. The All-India Council for Technical Education has also advised that such a ban be put in place. In a letter to affiliated colleges on January 25, Anna University Vice-Chancellor D. Viswanathan said that the AICTE chairman and other academicians feel that “recruitment conducted to the pre-final year students is not advisable in terms of testing the domain skill and behavioural skill of the students.”
