Agenda Item No.172.02 : CONSIDERATION OF COURT CASES
S.No. / File Code No. / Name of the Institution / Name of the Course / Decision of NRC /1. / HP-205 / Vijay Memorial College of Education, (Wisdom Education Society) Village & Post – Bhangrotu, Near Chowk, Distt. – Mandi (Himachal Pradesh) / J.B.T. / In view of the orders dated 07/07/2010 passed by the Hon’ble High Court of H.P. at Shimla , the CLU dated 06.05.2009 issued by the Sub Divisional Magistrate be accepted provisionally subject to submission of proper CLU, as per state Govt. rules at the time of inspection and case be processed further . VT is constituted for the purpose.
2. / UP-1889 / C-Impact Institute, 20 K.M. Stone, Behind Gokulam Water Park, NH-2, Agra, U.P. / Additional intake in B.T.C. course / In view of the order dated 5/5/2010 passed by the Hon’ble High Court of Allahabad in Writ C. No. 24648 of 2010 filed by the institution, the case was carefully considered by NRC and the following was observed:
The institute was recognized on 5th August, 2004 for B.T.C. course with an intake capacity of 50 seats . The recognition, however was not made operative due to the policy of the State Govt. and therefore, the recognition could not get completed by way of proper affiliation by the State Examining Body. The institute after prolonged litigation could get affiliation for its course only in March 2010. It is not known whether, the institute has even admitted the students of its first batch, as only after three years of functioning it is entitled for additional intake as per Clause 8 (IV) of NCTE Regulation, 2002. Since the institution made an application in 2004 itself, without running the course for one year it was not entitled for additional intake even at that point of time in 2004. As per regulation 2009, currently in operation, the institution will be entitled for additional intake after completion of 3 academic sessions. The institution was therefore not entitled for additional intake at that point of time as per the NCTE, Regulations, 2002 and institution is also not entitled even at present as per current NCTE, Regulation, 2009
Hence, the Show Cause Notice under section 15 (3) (b) of NCTE act, 1993 be issued to the institution before refusing the recognition on the above grounds
