Anna University of Technology opposes temporary affiliation of Dhaya College of Engineering

Updated on: Tuesday, July 31, 2012

The state-run Anna University of Technology opposed in the Madras High Court bench the plea for temporary affiliation by an engineering college set up by a trust in which Union Minister M K Alagiri is a member.
 
Registrar of Anna University of Technology, Madurai, E B Perumal Pillai in a counter affidavit said the high court could neither arrogate itself the powers to grant affiliation nor issue a positive direction to a university to grant affiliation.
 
Opposing the plea of Dhaya College of Engineering, set up by the M K Alagiri Educational Trust here, the Registrar also said the university had no powers to grant temporary affiliation as sought by the college.
 
He also quoted a Division Bench's judgement relating to the Madras University and said no college could claim affiliation as a matter of right.
 
The college had sought temporary affiliation from the university for the year 2012-13, besides permission to participate in the ongoing counselling for engineering admissions.
 
The college, set up last year, was denied affiliation on the ground that there were some defects in the infrastructure. But the college officials had said they had rectified all the defects pointed out by the AUT team
