Dhaya Engineering College Approval Pending Petition Filed 2011 to 2012

M K Alagiri Trust has submitted a petition that the All India Council for Technical Education had given permission to begin admissions from 2011-12 after due inspection by an expert team on May 18., but approval for admitting students for the coming year is still pending.

An AUT team pointed out three defects during the inspection on July 22 which included shortage of 175 books in a library, location of a cafeteria near class room and non-availability of transport. The defects which were "trivial" in nature were pointed out with ulterior motive to defer the college's request, it said adding yet the college had rectified them.

However, there seems to be delay in giving permission to admit students for 2011 t0 2012 academic year. The petition alleges that government authorities were intentionally refusing permission for the college because Alagiri Union Minister Chemicals and Fertilizers, a senior DMK leader, was one of the trustees.
