	Irregularities committed by B.Ed colleges affiliated to GND University Report to be sent to NCTE P.K. Jaiswar Tribune News Service Amritsar, June 23 Guru Nanak Dev University will send a detailed report of alleged irregularities being committed by B.Ed colleges affiliated to the university to the National Council of Teachers Education (NCTE). The decision was taken during the Syndicate meeting of the university, chaired by Vice-Chancellor Dr A.S. Brar here today. The university also decided to start BCA course at Shaheed Ram Singh Pathania Memorial College, Niari, from the current academic session besides reducing the admission and tuition fees for candidates seeking admission to various courses in the Department of Music. Dr Inderjit Singh, Registrar of the university, while detailing the proceedings of the Syndicate meeting alleged that many B.Ed colleges affiliated to the university had been flouting the norms by charging exorbitant fees from the students while bothering a little to recruit the requisite staff for education. Taking a serious note of this, the university authorities had directed these college officials to mend their ways a number of times, but the university remained flooded with the complaints against them, said the Registrar. Meanwhile, he said in view of providing quality education to the students of the backward district of Gurdaspur, the university Syndicate had allowed BCA course at Shaheed Ram Singh Pathania Memorial College, Niari. Meanwhile, the results of BA/B.Sc Part-II and Bachelor of Food Science and Technology (Honours) Part-IV held by the university in April, 2010, had been declared and were available on the university website, www.gndu.ac.in.
