Bangalore: Isn’t it time to deal with and advocate zero tolerance for colleges that take students for a ride and get them out from the college with a “good for nothing certificate’’? Shouldn’t it be prohibited if some educational societies have started treating education as a trade and commerce?

One should be very careful while signing on an MBA program that whether the college is accredited or not. All efforts you put forth for your studies and assignments could end up in vein if your degree has no accreditation. The new students those who don't know much about professional accreditation can easily be cheated with the fake accreditation as it is simple enough to explain. Since the influence of your course accreditation is very important in the job market, you should be well evaluating the college before you sign in.

In a new survey conducted by AICTE proved that Delhi has become the capital of the fake management degree business. The Council regulations strictly banned any academic programme without AICTE approval. Academic programmes like architecture and town planning, management studies, engineering and information technology, pharmacy, hotel management and catering require an AICTE approval. The degree awarded by the non- approved institutes does not hold any value in the job market.

The Council started giving wide publicity to the institutes which are not yet approved by the Council. It has already uploaded the name of non-approved institutes in its official website www.aicte-india.org . Actions will be taken towards these 348 non-accredited instituted by respective state administrations. The ministry had already advised students to take proper measurements to ensure that their institutes are recognized under the law.
