Hyderabad July 24: The state government has slapped penalties on professional educational institutions, including B.Ed colleges, for flouting admission norms. The erring colleges are Madhav IASE Bhongir, Nalgonda (2 seats), Karunodya B Ed College, R R district (11 seats), St George College of Education, R R district (2 seats), Vennela IASE, Nalgonda (2 seats), Bhongir College of Education, Bhongir, Nalgonda (2 seats), Sri Chaitanya College of Education, Podili, Prakasam district (2 seats) and Margadarshi College of Education, Mahbubabad, Warangal district (50 seats). Five private unaided B Ed colleges, which had filled up the left over seats during 2006-2007 violating the admission rules, were imposed penalty of Rs 10,000 per seat.
The matter came to light after the Andhra Pradesh Council for Higher Education (APSCHE) conducted an inquiry into the admission process. The council said the seats were filled up by the management under the convenor quota. A report submitted by the council to the government found that the colleges filled up a total of 71 seats. Principal secretary Dr C.B.S Venkataramana who examined the report also levied a penalty of Rs 10,000 per seat on Sri Chaitanya College of Education in Prakasam district and decided to ratify the admissions made in violation of the rules . Sources said several colleges were flouting the admission norms and the government decided to deal with them sternly. “Due to heavy demand for B Ed seats, some colleges are blatantly flouting admission norms. Hefty penalties and derecognising the institutions is the only solution,” a senior official said.
