Students protest demanding change of administrative control from Maharaja Ranjit Singh University to PTU
SBS Tech Campus is recognized by NBA & NAAC : Director T.S Sidhu
Ferozepur, September 10, 2015: The students of Shaheed Bhagat Singh Technical Campus today protested for issuing of degree to them by Maharaja Ranjit Singh University instead of Punjab Technical University.
With the coming of new Maharaja Ranjit Singh University, the administrative control of colleges in the Malwa belt was brought under Maharaja Ranjit Singh University, Bhatinda bifurcating the area of operation of Punjab Technical University.
In the meantime, the SBS Tech Campus was also given the autonomous status.
The students alleged that the institution has kept us in dark about the status at the time of formation of new University and issuance of degrees. Their resentment is only that PTU has gained its name and the new University will take time to establish its identity, at the global level.
When one of the students contacted, he said, it would have been better if the degrees to the students are issued by the PTU by keeping all other administrative control by the separate bodies.
Dr.T.S.Sidhu, Director, Shaheed Bhagat Singh Technical Campus said, “SBS Tech Campus is recognized by National Board of Accreditation (NBA) and National Assessment Accreditation Council (NAAC) and given the Academic Autonomous Status by University Grants Commission (UGC)”.
He further said, “Now our institution will take the exams of the students at its own level and declare results and the concerned University will only give the degree. The degrees to the students of 2nd, 3rd and 4th year students will be given by the Punjab Technical University and 1st year students by Maharaja Ranjit Singh State Technical University.
On clarification and assurance from the Director, the students withdraw the protest.
