Chandigarh, March 10

The Department of Higher Education, Punjab, has requested the Ministry of Education that the colleges, affiliated to Panjab University, Chandigarh; Punjabi University, Patiala; Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar, running BBA/BCA and other professional courses must be given one year to apply to the All-India Council of Technical Education (AICTE).

The last date to apply and adhere to norms of the AICTE should be extended to March 31, 2025.

The state department has written to the AICTE on the basis of representations received by the Punjab Government from colleges affiliated to the universities. These colleges are running BBA/BCA courses after due approval and under the norms prescribed by the universities for the last 20 to 25 years and are not covered under the AICTE.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
