Punjab University disaffiliates Muktsar college

Updated on: Thursday, April 12, 2012

Dissatisfied with the reply to a show-cause notice issued by Punjab University, a BEd college in Mukstar district was disaffiliated on Tuesday for not fulfilling criteria of National Council of Technical Education (NCTE).

Guru Gobind Singh College for Education, Malout, was among 62 colleges affiliated to PU offering courses in education. It was inspected by NCTE between March 13 and 16 for infrastructure, staff and academic excellence. Sources said the college had land at another place on papers while it was functioning from another place.

Now, PU has cancelled the examination centre in this college and even shifted students to other institutes. In past, the no-objection certificate had been withdrawn by the Punjab government for this college.

Naval Kishore, PU dean College development council, said, "On March 16, a national regulatory body had withdrawn affiliation for the course offered by this college. As affiliating institute, Punjab University had to take some action in the matter. Hence we cancelled the examination centre and disaffiliated the college."
