GNS JAMMU, : In total defiance of the notification issued by the Jammu University (JU), nearly 80 private B. Ed colleges continue to hold counseling cum admission process for the course.
Officials said that despite this, authorities in JU are looking as mute spectators to all this and have failed to strongly deal with the illegal practice going on for past few days.
As just two days left for the last date of the counseling which is fixed by the private colleges as December 30, the private colleges able to fill only 2400 out of 8000 seats
It is pertinent to mention here that there are about 75 colleges in Jammu division who are affiliated with Jammu University, but due to less input of students the private colleges owners are still filling the seats after the last date violating the norms of JU.
Pertinently, as per the JU notification, it is mention that the admission taking by the candidates after closing date in any private college of Jammu is not acceptable by JU administration and considers as invalid.
It is also mention in the notification that JU has not authorized anybody to issue such an advertisement or to initiate a process of on spot counseling.
When contacted, Forum of Recognized Colleges of Education (FORCE) president Harbans Singh said that as per today record 30 percent students has taken the admission.
He further said that if the Jammu University will not consider our admissions, we will knock the door of Judiciary.
“The Jammu University might start the B Ed counseling within three days. And if they open the dates for the B Ed counseling, then we will extend the date and filled the remaining seats.
Reliable sources say that even the Governor N.N Vohra had clearly told the Vice-Chancellor Jammu University Varun Sahni to take measures against the illegal practice during their meeting few days back, but so far nothing has been done.
Surprisingly private colleges association has issued a notification recently notifying that the admission-cum-counseling process will start from December 22-30, despite the fact that the entire right to admission is reserved to the university administration.
“It is totally illegal and private colleges have openly defying the JU administration, while they are watching helpless, because many of the high profile ministers and MLA are running these colleges”, said a source.
Though as per the JU notification, University has warned that those taking admission now in any private college of Jammu will not be acceptable and will be considered invalid, but sources said that it will turn out to be just hollow threat.
Director, Colleges Development Council, Prof. Desh Bandhu said that the JU administration has no plan to open the counseling for the B Ed course.
