Politicians running these colleges have not only taken huge swathes of land but have also diversified their business interests. With the black money generated from running them, they have established business empires that are now into production of milk, manufacture of sweets, steel and cement, and footwear, bottled water, electricity generation, and so on. | ||

A senior professor from a government-run engineering college said the faculty members merely coached the students to get the minimum pass marks in the examinations. “The very purpose of receiving engineering education is not addressed,” he said. The third reason is the abysmal quality of students joining the private engineering colleges. Shankar said there was no entry barrier for students aspiring to join a graduate engineering course. Every student who applies for admission gets a seat in some engineering course. He may or may not get the course and college of his choice if he does not score high marks in the Plus Two examination. However, seats are for sale under the management quota. So, if the parents have money to spare, they can buy a seat of their ward’s choice in any engineering college even if the marks scored are low. This “democratisation of higher education”, as a wag put it, has led to a situation where a majority of the students who graduate from engineering colleges have become unemployable. | ||

The first factor is the “mindless, uncontrolled expansion of engineering colleges”, aided by the AICTE. The AICTE merely checked whether an education trust or a person wanting to start an engineering college had the requisite 2.5 acres (1.5 hectares) in an urban setting or 10 acres (4 hectares) in a rural one, whether each classroom had a minimum of 66 square metres of carpet space and whether the trust could furnish proof of a fund of Rs.1 crore as operational expenses. “The AICTE merely satisfied itself whether a newly established engineering college had the required infrastructure. It did not bother about the quality of education imparted there,” said Shankar Vanavarayar. | ||

Tamil Nadu has the highest number of engineering colleges in India—571. Of these, self-financing institutions account for 539, and the remaining are State-run or State-aided engineering colleges, university department colleges, and constituent colleges. Andhra Pradesh has 364 engineering colleges, with 2.2 lakh seats on offer. This year, 35,000 seats have remained unfilled in that State. In Telangana, which has 340 engineering colleges, 33,000 seats remained vacant this year. | ||

In 2012-13, 50,000 seats remained unfilled; in 2013-14, it was 80,700; and in 2014-15, the figure rose to 1,00,819. The situation forced three self-financing engineering colleges to close down last year. This academic year, 20 engineering colleges have not admitted fresh students and 15 colleges could fill only 10 per cent of the seats. | ||
