Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Technical University (AKTU) decided to take a unique action against abusive students. According to the reports, after receiving several abusive comments on various official social media platforms of AKTU, the University decided to take action against these abusive students in a different manner.  

AKTU came up with an innovative way to take action against students who made abusive and vulgar comments on the official social media platforms of the University (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube etc). Talking about the decision, the University Vice-chancellor Vinay Kumar Pathak said, “If a student makes obscene and vulgar comments on the official social media platform of the university, then he must compulsorily take a course of 15-days in human values. Also, during the summer and winter holidays, for one month he/ she will have to go to a rural area and take part in positive social work.”

Meanwhile, AKTU decided to launch part-time PG and PhD courses. According to the reports, the academic council of AKTU on June 2, 2020, approved running of part-time Post Graduate courses and part-time PhD courses, from the new academic session.

These part-time PG and PhD courses will be run at AKTU’s constituent institutions like the Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET), Lucknow, Centre of Advanced Studies, Lucknow, Faculty of Architecture, Lucknow and Uttar Pradesh Institute of Design, Noida.

Talking about the decision to launch part-time PG and PhD courses, Mr Kumar said, “These courses will be started for such students who are employed in any industrial sector or government and non-government institutions and wish to do M Tech/M Arch/M Design and PhD courses. The proposal for running part-time M Tech/M Arch/M Design courses and part-time Ph D course has been agreed with the condition that students taking admission in the said courses have to ensure attendance in regular classes.”

He further added, “It was also decided in the meeting that the university will provide educational autonomy to private affiliated institutions, keeping in view their performance in academic, research, innovation, training and placement, etc. In this regard, a committee has been constituted.”
