Request to release Results of STPT
examination those cases are put on hold.
Respected
Sir,
With reference to the above subject representations
are received from many employees who are appeared STPT examination held in the
month of October 2018 and their results are put on hold. Further such employees
are asked to submit valued document substantiating the AICTE approval of the
course pursued by the candidates.
At the outset this Union has strong view that any
changes to be brought by TC/TSc or DAE the same should be prospective with
reference to the effective date. But in this case norms are changed with
retrospective effect by which many employees are put on disadvantages position.
It is also understood that in the past many employees have completed Diploma courses
from such institutes (e.g. YCMOU) and submitted for promotion/track change and
same is awarded. We appreciate the Department for allowing the candidates who
are passed out with a requisite percentage of marks from such institutes for STPT.
We have not found any worth on holding on the results of the candidates who
appeared the above examination. We also would like to bring the following information
for your kind deliberation.
1.
As per the Judgment No Appeal (civil) 2056 of
1999 dated 24/09/2001 of Honourable Supreme Court of India, “Universities which
are established by state or central Act and duly recognized by UGC do not
require ‘All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE)’ approval, for the
launch of any technical programmes as universities are excluded from the
definition of technical institution as per the Section 2(h) of AICTE ACT
(1987).” (Copy of the judgement attached)
2.
AICTE in Letter No “F.No. 22-2408/2009 .RIA”
dated 15-02-2009, which was a reply to Right
to Information (RTI), quote "As YCMOU is Open
3.
University, whether AICTE approval is necessary?” as per AICTE, "As
per existing policy to start with Technical courses by any institution, AICTE
approval is mandatory. However, approved universities by Central/State
Government and UGC are not covered under this category". (Copy of the
letter attached)
4. This is also clearly confirmed by AICTE in
Letter No “F.No. AICTE/RTI Cell/2007/438” dated 04-Oct-2007, which was an
answer to Query under ‘Right to Information (RTI’). According to AICTE “Degrees
/ Diplomas obtained through Distance mode and approved by DEC do not require
AICTE approval”. (copy of the letter attached)
5. It is also undoubtedly confirmed by another
“AICTE’s reply dated April 12, 2007”, where AICTE clearly states that “courses
offered by distance education mode do not come under the purview of AICTE”.
(Copy of the letter attached).
6. As a clause it’s also mentioned that those
pursuing their technical education through distance mode of education should
complete their practical at an AICTE approved study centre. It is also found
that our employees are complied the above condition meticulously.
7. All our employees are sought prior permission
for acquiring higher qualification indicating the name of institutes in which
they pursue their course and accordingly the department conveyed the approval
for higher studies.
In the light of above we
request you to release the results of the STPT 2018 which are kept on hold for want of
documents from the candidates.
Thanking you,
Yours Faithfully
A. Sreedharan
(Gen.
Secretary)
