New Delhi: The SC bench comprising Justices B Sudershan Reddy and Aftab Alam was on Wednesday concerned about the practice of private institutions enrolling thousands of students even before they get the mandatory recognition.
The plight of these students is then invoked, it said, to wangle recognition from regulators who are not keen to apply the standards laid down in the book.
The private institutions cite students' career as grounds to legalise admissions they had done unauthorizedly, it said. The bench then went on to call, echoing the remark made by the court in a similar case, the institutions 'masked phantoms' which do more harm to education system than good.
