  Thoug iter is a very good institution, so bput should take all the students of soa univrsity

• 3. Chandra  |  January 19th, 2010 at 1:49 pm

  This is a very good step in stemming the erring private institutions.
  University should promote Research And Development.

  I welcome the decision and hope to see the implementation soon.

• 4. Tanuj  |  January 19th, 2010 at 2:31 pm

  ITER has shown no such overt reasons to deserve a loss of deemed university status. Going under BPUT would be the worst thing that can happen to us given its troublesome events in the past years.

• 5. Arpita,student  |  January 19th, 2010 at 4:59 pm

  All people in Orissa have a stong believe that Sikhsa ‘O’ Anusandhan is the best university of Orissa.Since Orissa is a poor state growth of infrastructure of university is also a depedent factor.Gradually it will develop its infrastructure.Again it is the best in Orissa.If u r giving the students cirtificate of other university then also they will face many problem.If u de-recognising this university its like dumping the faith of people of orissa and near by states like Bihar,Westbengal,Jharkhand.

  While it is necessary to build new institutions to provide technical education to a larger fraction of our population, it is nonetheless very important to make sure that the educational institutes do fulfil certain basic requirements. Of course, one has to see the complete assessment of the committee which decided the status of the deemed universities. How does KIIT compare with SOA? Could anyone shed some light?

• 7. alok  |  January 19th, 2010 at 6:32 pm

  Dumping one SOA from Orissa is just the beginning and a warning to other colleges who are planning to become deemed.You just cant open a Deemed universirty fortnite.See how long and what it takes to actually setup an Unversity.Its like opening an university is now an ordinary deal in India.I fully support govt decision to de-recognize these universities.You cant play with the career of an individual.Career spoiled means its an end of the road for most parents.At the moment Orissa govt should make it compulasory for all technical and Non-tech colleges to be affiliated under a govt university atleast for 10 years before applying for a deemed status.Why 10 yeras it should be atleast for 20 years.Within this time the colleges should put focus on faculties,student teacher ratio,Quality teaching,facilities and infrastructure.For the tech ones placement do plays an important role.Only once these requirments are fulllfilled and maintained for atleast some years( fix some time span) then only the colleges can apply for deemed university.

• 8. KUMAR ROHIT  |  January 19th, 2010 at 6:35 pm

  this is not a very good step against SOA university, though it is a top ranked university in orissa. the university is developing its infrastructure to the best of its capability, & its educational background is best in orissa. so govnt. must be see its decision once again against SOA UNIVARSITY.

• 9. Dr.santosh kumar swain  |  January 19th, 2010 at 7:17 pm

  Few month back SOA university got A-grade by UGC.It is unvilevibale for chance of derecognisation.Orissa is poor in education.I think before dereconisation ,evaluate all university of india.There may be more than 50 university may be dereconised.Orissa need more university.If SOA will be derecognised,it will be a great mistake of Govt.of India.Think twice….

• 12. Biswa  |  January 20th, 2010 at 1:20 pm

  From the news, it looks like, this de-recognition would not impact the students. Good to know about that.
  This is a good warning sign to all private institutions, who are doing a rat-race to gain up-gradation, without actually getting the infrastructures in place, for students.

• 13. SM  |  January 20th, 2010 at 3:08 pm

  @sonu:
  Do you mean to suggest that those who gave deemed university status to SoA earlier were fools?

  As per news reports, it seems many of these deemed univs were founded by politically connected guys. It maybe that SOA is no more politically well connected. My personal view is that such namesake universities and institutions should go.

  Somehow related but may not be relevant here, you will be surprised to know that in a village (of moderate size), there are about 5 public schools (each named after one of the prevalent socio-spiritual organizations) apart from a government school. A careful analysis showed that all five private schools are established just to fulfil personal and family ego. Three of the five founders had been Sarpaches, one a rich land lord. Of course they make good money and students get somewhat a better education compared to the government school, which in turn has become unessential.

• 14. skd  |  January 20th, 2010 at 3:08 pm

  Good steep take by MHRD. Pvt. universities estibliished under stae legasation of Rajasthan, Nagaland, Sikkim etc ( eg. The Global Open University, Jodhpur Nationl University , Singhania University etc. needs to be checked by UGC, since they are also operating similar to Deemed Universities, which are being de-recognised.

• 15. alok  |  January 20th, 2010 at 3:13 pm

  Well friends..its been clearly mentioned that UGC granting wont help much even the rating by UGC wont make any diffrence to govt’s decision.How many of us have objected state govt’s decision.there are n number of times when state govt has taken many wrong decisions.latest one is ESIC.Well thats a diffrent story.For now SOA didnt satisfied the basic requirement for a deemed university thats why it was black listed.If you see TN there are 16 number of universities that are de-recognized.So rather than cursing the govt people must demand for appropriate action against SOA for misleading the people of Orissa.Thanks again to the govt of India.India is actually developing the education

• 16. Chandra  |  January 20th, 2010 at 8:15 pm

  Every logic for SOA is concentrated on education infrastucture. As a student it meant to carry a degree from a grand old university and it has very good alumni also.

  With the aid of education infrastructure, there should not be argument to promote substandard institutes with no or minimum infrastcture.

  Can someone provide the research and papers published statistics of the university?

• 17. sujit  |  January 20th, 2010 at 11:04 pm

  As a student of ITER and under the SOA university I would like to raise the following poits to those who say that this is a good decision by the govt.
  1. ITER is still the No.1 college among all the colleges in orissa in terms of results and infrastructure. Those who have never seen the infra of ITER should come and see it.
  2. A couple of months ago we got an A grade by NAAC, and also UGC and AICTE visited us 3 months ago and gave us good ratings. So what extra points did OP Tandon commission found that they say SOA doesnot deserve to be an university.
  The ratings of Tandon commission and NAAC cannot be true at the same time.
  3. Government is telling that it will be good for the students, Does it ever think that how will our curriculum change when we migrate to BPUT. And will BPUT provide us at par certificates ?

• 18. sujit  |  January 20th, 2010 at 11:07 pm

  @alok
  What do you know abt SOA? just reading a few news papers wont make you aware of the situation.

  And many univirsities like MGR have also been axed and you will be happy to know that MGR is the 4th best private university in India. I think you didnt know that. So before drawing any conclusion you people should be aware of what is actually going on around you.

• 19. Parashar  |  January 20th, 2010 at 11:29 pm

  Being from Bhubaneswar & keeping track of what really happening around I can safely state ITER as an engineering college can any day dwarf other engineering colleges in Orissa except perhaps NIT Rourkela as far as discipline & rigorous teaching is concern.But I am not in position to talk about other affiliate colleges of SOA.

  Its MBA college though have good infrastructure It did admit 450+ students in its 08-10 batch,Way too much one would consider. Its pharmacy is one of the best of the state. Not much can b told about Hotel mgmt,Nursing & Medical college as either they are new or never came to lime light.

  As far as research paper is concerned,I once had a chat with one of the faculty who argues they are too young as an university to have a scholars with research papers published.

• 20. @toto  |  January 21st, 2010 at 12:55 am

  well a very good step that w’d have been more effective if taken earlier ……..well good infrastructure doesn’t make a good university . It’s the students n faculty that makes it.The ratings of Tandon commission and NAAC makes sure that ITER lacks something .This is a good warning sign to all private institutions, who are doing a rat-race to gain up-gradation, without actually getting good infrastructures n well R&D in place for students.

• 21. rajendra  |  January 21st, 2010 at 12:59 am

  its shameless for those who are enjoying after the govts decission that soa university will be derecognised because they are actually jealous about the growth of soa university . everyone knows what is status of soa university and the colleges associated with soa university. what ever may be the reason for derecognition of soa university , but still soa university is best university in orissa. and hopefully they will get this answer after hearing of supreme court…

• 22. Sanjay Dhal  |  January 21st, 2010 at 1:51 am

  As the news is very much true, Education in real means now a days is very deep into tunnels.
  The Standard of quality education lies with a Good quality education delivering ends.
  Means- Good and ample infrastructure
  2- Focus on Quality Education rather than Quantity.
  3- Quality of Manpower who were delivering educations,
  4- Smooth Management transitions and Foundations.
  5- Technical Supports and Channel Expansion visions.
  6 – Standard of quality intake followed same to all Students rather than management students intake with hefty money.

  SOA, university is a good institution, but is not of the quality to be made Deemed’. …

  I keenly watched the MBA curriculum, which is really hard to complete, But Students at SOA does not worry to pass, Coz they Say “…”.

  well this might be not for every students, but its true

• 23. Kanika  |  January 21st, 2010 at 6:15 am

  A few months back UGC had issued guidelines to all such institutes,not to use the \”university\” tag in their names. Unfortunately no such institution has followed it till now. After many officials were arrested by CBI after their alleged involve ment in illegal recognition to new engineering colleges in Hyderabad and South, the Government of India lost faith in AICTE. Also the Yashpal Committee has suggested to dissolve AICTE and bring it under UGC by combining both, according to which the Government has now limited the powers of AICTE to specified engineering branches and Distance MCA and MBA only.

  The next action taken is the derecognition of 44 universities like SOA,which is logically OK but the Government should also think about the future of the students ,currently pursuing their studies in such institutes

• 25. R.K. Ghosh  |  January 21st, 2010 at 10:43 am

  Unfortunately, education sector does not have something similar to BIFR (board of industrial and financial reconstruction) kind of institution. IMHO, MHRD should have taken care before moving to de-recognize 44 deemed universities, A sound reconstruction plan would have provided much needed technical/financial assistances to these universities. Now the students enrolled in those universities are not sure whether they would get the full compensation for the money and the time they had invested in pursuing degrees at those universities. No one knows what will be fate of these institutions staring at the threats of de-recognition. It has understandably created a panic among students. Having a board of educational reconstruction and reforms (BERR) is very important to clear the mess.

  Sujit..I have been to SOA populaly know as ITER.I dont find anything impressive or a reason why it wont be derecognized.Even when i was a student i had a mentality somehow like you but upto some extent.You seem to be emotionally atached to your college.Thats good.But the college admin dont work emotinally or the govy.decisions are taken by some high level team .They have set some parameters and if a particular cleege dont meet those it would be derecongnized.Coming to future of the students when the govt has said that no students future will be put on stake then there is no point to worry.Coming to your point on MGR you should think once again when a college like MGR is not spared thet how come SOA? Even the DY patil college has been de recognized.So rather than getting into these dabates you should compare your stand.There are 16 number of colleges in TN .Do you think all of them dont have the required infra or faculty.Well no body knows the parameters set by MHRD and on what basis these colleges have been derecognized.But i am sure if SOA have been derecognized its because it didnt match the parameters set by MHRD.By raising questions you are doubting the abilities of the concerned officials.

• 30. BIswajit Mishra  |  January 21st, 2010 at 4:04 pm

  No it’s really shame that to take off the deemed status of
  soa university
  Because the university consist of ITER , SUM HOSPITAL, IBCS etc.
  in ttotal consisst of 6000 students and again the infrastucture UGC may see the SUM HOSPITAL and ITER not a bad infrastructure it will make it more beautifaul and precious within more 5 years so it’s really a bad decision OF UGC….

• 31. AYESHA,Student  |  January 21st, 2010 at 4:34 pm

  I am a student of SOA,presently in 2nd yr.So far i dont have a single complain about its educational system.Its sad as well as ridiculous to know that SOA will be derecognised as a deemed university.
  If “derecognition” is the reward offered from govt to SOA for its excellence performance then i feel sorry to say that why are we refered to as “the future citizens” when our future is not save???Atlast, dont let politics play with students’ lives.
  We are proud to be under SOA and there is no other college comparable to SOA in Orissa.

• 32. bkpanigrahy  |  January 21st, 2010 at 4:41 pm

  UGC NAAC team visited SOA during 18-20 April 2009. Their report says that it has :

  • Faculties/ Schools:08
  • Departments/ Centres:22 Departments
  • Programmes/ Courses offered:52(UG-14,PG-21,Ph.D-17)
  • Permanent Faculty Members:675 (Male: 467; Female: 208)
  • Permanent Support Staff:1071 (Non teaching) + 680 (Technical)
  • Students:4955 (UG) + 1244 (PG) + 109(Ph.D

  One wonders how with such little infrastructure, it can run so many programmes and admit five thousand UG students, much higher than the sanctioned strength. Can somebody stand up and give the list of their 675 permanent faculty members?

• 33. alok  |  January 21st, 2010 at 5:00 pm

  For all those who think dumping SOA was a wrong decision.Please go through the article.It clearly indicates for SOA education meant just business and nothing else.The govt had to take decisions like this because no one has the right to play with an individual’s future..

  It is alleged that the SOA university has admitted more students than the existing strength.
  As per the guidelines, the University has to develop all necessary infrastructures and appoint faculties.

  (Editor: Unsupported speculations stated as fact removed. )

  Besides Siksha O Anusandhan, the Centre has stated before the Supreme Court in an affidavit that another 43 universities are also not qualified to become deemed universities.
  The Review Committee came across several aberrations in the functioning of some of the institutions deemed to be Universities, the HRD ministry said in an affidavit before the apex court.
  According to the Centre, most of the 44 erring deemed universities were offering post-graduate and undergraduate courses that are fragmented with concocted nomenclatures and seats disproportionately increased beyond the actual intake capacity.

Why the government is finding all this fault like lake of infrastructure , High Intake etc. etc. now…?? What about the time when our coll. was given a deemed status. Its seems like the fault from the government side. Even though the government is assuring about the students future not to be affected by this .. but its definitely going to be somehow. And regarding ITER not being capable of deemed : Its the best college in Odisha and will remain like that under BPUT too.

  Maybe d decision 2 derocgnise soa has come has a shocker 2 many…it was obvious from d first day…after gaining deemed status iter indiscriminately increased it’s student intake..d situation was so bad that the clases of the second batch was started 2 months late as d new bulidings were not ready..further the soa administration was very apathetic towards d further development..iter showed a lot of promise when it was under bput…but it ’s quality decreased soon after becoming deemed..education became buisnes …i seriously think a lot of introspection is required…u cant deny d tryth..

• 49. Satyabrat Nag  |  January 22nd, 2010 at 11:30 pm

  With reference to ITER first year BTech, plz furnish the answer of the following questions.
  1. Do they have the infrastructure to educate the numbers of students they admitted in last academic session?
  2. Have they observed 100 full working class days before having the semester examination?
  3. Have they completed the courses prescribed in each subject? When did they start counseling and admission ( forget about seat reservation by paying 40000 rupees) and when did they have their first class in each subject?
  4. Have they even issued basic non-time-consuming identity cards to students in 100 days of receiving the annual fees? When did they issue the courses of studies?
  5. Have they disclosed number of students they intend to admit before the entrance examination or blatantly dishonored the implied published information?
  6. Have they not subjected young (many below 18 years) to attend classes in under construction building in unsafe condition? Do they have uthority of use of the building from competent authority of the State? Do they courage to apply for it even today?
  7. Have they provided ultra violet treated drinking water to the students in each academic block? Even Kmbh Mela does it!
  8. Do they have a canteen having seating capacity for even half of 1% student and staff strength?
  9. Have they informed students/parents of undisclosed examination fees, registration fees of each semester? Have they disclosed the extent of cross subsidy the Engineering college extends to loss making Institutes under their banner ( e.g. Medical)
  10. Do they think their practice is sustainable in this decade of the elites?

  Iter has played a magnificent role to take the technical education level to a new height .
  If u believe me the quality of education,the placement record spells the words of success .
  It is one of the most coveted institute of the country as well.
  In this bad period of the college we the students are invariably there to extend our sincere support to our college.
  MAY BE 2DAY OR TOMORROW THE TRUTH WILL PREVAIL AND ITER WILL BE CONSIDERED ONE OF THE BEST INSTITUTE IN THE TECHNICAL DOMAIN TO NUTURE THE FRESH TALENTS LIKE US.

• 58. Pinak Mishra  |  January 24th, 2010 at 2:04 am

  Hey guys i m a little late to comment on this topic, But i want to focus something:-

  Do u think d colleges under BPUT fulfil all the criteria of Govt???,

  I dont think so guys, faculties are too young to teach ,rented building, Under construction building, Dont have a fully equipped lab , Any one getting a approval from BPUT, der r many more points regarding BPUT.

  Everyone knows students of KIIT and SOA university are the best placed and are in a better position and well educated,.

  The main thing studyin under a deemed university is the university is focused for der own students and they try der best to get dem placed and dats wat matters the most for a student to placed well after studies.

  I dont think the so called govt university BPUT give more emphasis on the placement of the students getting passed out of the university so its like passing out from a top college and the bottom ranked college under the same university is the same. The students will land up at the same place whether dey pass from a top or a worst college under the same university.

  The govt university is doin business for the govt by givin any institute a recognition and takin n numbers of students so i dont think the deemed university can be considered doin more business than the govt university.

  the govt should take steps on other fields which are more important issues like tax paying, corruption, poverty, etc…….
  and the list goes on.

  Govt cannot take this steps on some good institutions and smash there reputation. This kind of step can affect a student who has passed out or goin to pass out, wenever der college name comes to limelight.

  From susanta S O A University
  After gating A+ grade certificate from UGC how it is possible to de-recognised , how strange is it ? I think it is a wrong decission of UGC/Deptt. of HRD. So I hope again check / Re-evaluate / Re-consider its Status with Infrastructure among all deemed universities in India. As Orissa is a backward class in Education all peoples from orissa wants a well establishment deemed university at orissa. Let us consider & make it as strong as possible. Thanks

  SOA must initiate immediate steps to regain its past glory. They must limit students intake in ITER to maximum 500 (not 2000), reduce fees to Rs80000 per annum, select only rank holders of its entrance test, complete courses before semester exam, run classes in two shift for first year students.

  In fact opinion expressed by Satyabrata Nag at 49th opinion calls for attention of ITER management, staff, parents and prospective students. Why there is no further comment on it???

  @Abinav Mishra. Hey dude do you even know a thing about education. Dude I study at UIUC, one of the very best universities in the USA. The government and the alumni give the university more than a billion dollars for research to my department every year. do you even know how many zeros are there in a billion dollars? and that to one department. You know what kind of research comes at RS 80,000 or $1600, zero. And talking of SOA, my cousin sis studies there. I was there this summer and in contrast with all the shitty colleges out there, it is pretty awesome. And btw if you are so interested in managing a college, start one yourself. AND TO ALL THE PEOPLE OUT THERE, HARVARD, KAPIL SIBAL’s college, takes 22 lakhs a year.

  AND to all the people who think that phd holders is so easy, IT TAKES 5 YEARS TO GET A Phd IN THE USA. How the heck can a university of 2 years produce a phd holder. Are u guys even serious. PLUS most of the prestigious colleges in the US are atleast 100 years old. And for research what kind of aid does the government give the universities.

• 68. alok  |  January 26th, 2010 at 6:50 pm

  Saswat..i dnt know what makes you to compare an american university with an indian one.You are almost off track.The topic here is about derecognization of deemed university.

  Chitta Sir you always edit out statements which are not appropriate and not accepted.Then how come this guy saswat is suppose to compare and hit back the whole of indian education.The problem is instead of making education better in india we have a habit to put it on others and the govt that its like this and that.

  And coming to some comments that says SOA should be given 3 yeras time to fulfill the requirements of a deemed university.Well i want to ask just one question what SOA was doing till now whn it was quite aware of getting derecognized .(Reasons were quite known to the management).Instead SOA should take classes from KIITS or any other private SUCCESSFUL DEEMED UNIV. on what and how to fulfill the requirements.No body even raised questions why its admitting students more than its capacity.Dont you guys think its completely business oriented rather than education oriented.

  Coming to BPUT its an university which is yet to start completely from Rourkela .But due to our state govt nasty politics and pressure from some pvt engg colleges of BBSR region this is yet to be done.Once BPUT is completely functional from Rourkela the whole tech education scenario will change.Campus will definetly come to BPUT and the new VC will do take the help of his influence to bring MNC’s at BPUT gate.And some people are blaming BPUT just because of back logs that they get .Back logs is completely with the student. Back logs we do get at IITS.So do you think we blame the IIT management for that.Even people blame at board exams.So do you blame the CBSE or ICSE.What i know the course and curriculum at BPUT is best at par in the country and most of the IITs follow.

• 69. devil  |  January 26th, 2010 at 9:19 pm

  my question is whether the degrees will be broken in the form of semester wise or the whole degree will be from the new university.for eg if tilak maharastra university is derecognised after my completion of first sem then my first sem degree will be of tilak maharastra university and from 2nd sem the new one, or the whole will be of new university?????????????????????????????????????????????

• 70. saswat  |  January 26th, 2010 at 11:44 pm

  @alok. I never compared American education with Indian education. What I am saying is give the Universities at least 5 years time, before u judge them. And btw dude read what I have written properly. … statement deleted by editor …

• 71. Subhasis Mishra  |  January 27th, 2010 at 12:09 am

  well said alok…back log is comp wid the students….ppl need ta study to get grades…nd moreover most ppl join iter coz they want to avoid backlog…aint tht right!!

• 72. saswat  |  January 27th, 2010 at 1:40 am

  @sujit. Man if that’s the case, there are some serious problems with the process.Talking about KIIT and SOA,all I have to say is that most of bjb friends either went to NIT(REC) or SOA. So I guess u can gauge the standard of both the universities. .. statement deleted by editor.. BUT I do think, and people will agree, that all the colleges need to work and research together.

  @Moderator-I am sorry if I sound personal, but the alok guy’s narrow minded attitude just pisses me off. U can delete off this paragraph if you can.
