The move comes after an inspection was done by experts involved in the field of education in 280 affiliated institutions of GTU.
The inspection was conducted after the GTU called for an online self-disclosure from its 435 affiliated technical institutions in March this year, seeking information on its infrastructure including labs and faculty.
“Out of 280 institutes inspected by GTU, steps have been taken against 38 institutes, majorly self-financed. These institutes do not have required number of faculties and laboratories and in some institutes the post of director or principal has been vacant for the last three years… Thus, a total of 4,775 seats of 38 institutes have been reduced across faculties,” said GTU Vice Chancellor Prof Navin Sheth on Wednesday.
