JNTU-HYD flooded with requests for closure of nearly 350 courses

Officials feel about 100 colleges are trying to evade dues with closure requests

Poor response from students and stringent action from the authorities is forcing engineering colleges to surrender courses expressing their inability to run them.

The Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University Hyderabad (JNTUH) has received nearly 350 applications for closure of existing courses from about 100 colleges. Information Technology (IT) from the B. Tech stream is the major loser with about 90 colleges preferring to close the course while several colleges also applied for closure of MBA and MCA courses.

Officials are surprised to find such requests from top colleges and big names in the industry that offer multiple courses. “The low intake has made these courses economically unviable. Moreover, colleges also fear being exposed by the reports from the Task Force Committees with the High Court also showing keen interest in the issue,” a senior official said. He reminds that majority of these colleges were not started with service motto and closure is the best option for them.

Some of these colleges have also defaulted on the common service fee to be paid to the universities. The common service fee dues to the university are around Rs. 22.5 crore, and officials feel these colleges are trying to evade dues with closure requests. “We will give the No Objection Certificates (NOCs) only if they clear the dues,” the official said. The NOCs from the respective universities are mandatory for the colleges to approach the AICTE with closure requests. The closure requests were expected with dipping interest in engineering courses apart from the surplus seats due to mushrooming colleges. This year only 28 per cent of IT seats were filled in the convenor quota and there were hardly any takers in the management quota. Out of the 17,317 seats only 4,983 students opted for the B.Tech (IT) course leaving 12,334 seats vacant.

Similarly, demand for management and computer science courses also plummeted this year with 21,776 seats out of the 67,518 seats going vacant in MBA and 15,224 seats out of the 23,532 remaining vacant in the MCA stream. The MCA courses suffered the worst with not a single student joining in 159 colleges while MBA was better with zero admissions in 29 colleges.

Guidelines about JNTU Final Project

The objective of this document is to present the general guidelines for the writing up of a proper Final-project report.

All JNTU B-Tech IV-II students have to do a project in the given time period by the university.

By this time u would have got some idea about the project work as u have done with your mini project in III-II Semester.As in most of the colleges we were given choice to a study project or kit based and this could be done in an Institute,Industry or own.Most of chose to do a study project and were given permission for this and had to work on project during your IV-II Semester & we had to submit this report by the end of IV-II Class work.This project will be evaluated at the end of semester (The mini project and its report shall be evaluated with this final project work).

Basically in this Final project student can take up any Industry oriented application in his/her field of interest in their respective field/branch.First one has to submit an Abstract of the project to their concerned department head (HOD) and once he approves it ,he will assign a project guide to the individual or batch after this project work is to be started. Generally batch for a final project may have 1 to 3 members in it.

Important Points:
1) Final Project will be your key to success because when ever u attend interviews in any company the first question would be "Tell me about your project ?". so do the project with a proper attention on it.

2) Better to do the projects in the fields of latest upcoming technologies so that it would fetch u a plus point during the evaluation of project & also during the interviews.

3) If your role in the project is limited to few modules,Try to have a complete idea on the project (i.e., know about all the modules & steps involved in the project) because during the project evaluation the project supervisor (i.e., evaluator) may put forward few questions regarding the other modules also.

4) Out of a total 200 marks for the project work
For JNTU-HYD (R09) : 50 marks shall be for Internal Evaluation & 150 marks for the End Semester Examination.
For JNTU-KAKINADA (R07) : 40 marks shall be for Internal Evaluation & 160 marks for the End Semester Examination.
For JNTU-ANANTAPUR (R09) : 60 marks shall be for Internal Evaluation & 140 marks for the End Semester Examination.

The internal Evaluation shall be on the basis of two seminars given by each student on the topic of his project.The End Semester Examination (viva-voce) shall be conducted by the same committee appointed for industry oriented mini project. In addition the project supervisor shall also be included in the committee.

5) The topics for industry oriented mini project, seminar and project work shall be different from each other.

6) The mini project and its report shall be evaluated with the project work in IV year II semester.
