New Delhi, Sep 2: A total of 65 engineering colleges will be shut down in 2017. AICTE has released a list of 65 institutes which cannot admit students in first year engineering programme. However, the existing students will continue. The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) has decided to shut a total of 800 engineering colleges across India as admissions in colleges have dropped down over last few years.
This year, 122 private engineering colleges had opted for a closure and approximately 150 colleges are voluntarily closed down every year due to stricter AICTE rules. One of the AICTE rules states that if a college lacks proper infrastructure and reports less than 30 per cent admissions for five consecutive years, it will be closed down, AICTE chairman Anil Dattatraya Sahasrabudhe told TOI.
