GTU appoints 25 deans to its affiliated colleges

Updated on: Saturday, October 27, 2012

Gujarat Technological University (GTU) has appointed 25 deans for the 450-odd colleges which are affiliated with the university. While the tenure of the deans was only one year, the deans have not been replaced despite it being over a-year-and-a-half.

A number of trustees of colleges represented to the GTU to rotate the deans. They said that since the report of surprise checks on the colleges is prepared by the deans, the truth is not reflected in the reports as most deans are principals of colleges as well and tend not to highlight the shortcoming of their own colleges.

"Barring five or six colleges, the infrastructure is poor in most colleges," said a trustee.
