Chandigarh, April 26

Representatives of the students’ council at the Chandigarh College of Engineering and Technology (CCET), led by ABVP leaders Manveer Malhotra and Gurpreet Singh, approached local MP Kirron Kher regarding demands of college students.

Sahdev Salaria, political adviser to the MP, listened to their grievances on her behalf. They told Salaria that lateral entry of diploma students to degree courses was not being implemented.

They demanded that the pattern of the Sant Longowal Institute of Engineering & Technology (SLIET) be followed in this regard. The vertical promotion of 50 per cent each from the ITI-diploma-degree is being followed at SLIET whereas the Chandigarh Administration had adopted it in 2004 but failed to implement it in letter and spirit.

At present, the CCET degree wing is allowing only 20 per cent of the seats while the UIET and the PEC have no lateral entry.

The lone government institution is suffering due to inadequate infrastructure. Salaria assured the students that their grievances would be taken up with the Chandigarh Administration.
