Chennai: Protesting lack of infrastructure and other facilities and a clear approval for BE courses, the engineering students of Meenakshi University held a demonstration against the authorities on Friday.
As the university has no facilities of its own, the students say they are forced to share the facilities of the Sri Muthukumaran Institute of Technology, a group institution affiliated to Anna University, Chennai.
Students lament about lack of any proper classrooms, labs, hostels or even building. A first year BE Computer Science and Engineering student says, 'We can see some buildings being constructed, which they say is for us, but there is nothing yet.'
The students are pressed to use the labs when the students of Muthukumaran are not using them, said a BE Mechanical Engineering student.
From around 8.30 am, 400 students staged the protest in front of the administration block till about 2 pm, when the police were called in to disperse them.
When everyone else is starting the next academic year, no university examination schedule has been yet announced and the university has just started model examinations [for 2008-09].
The university is unable to give any assurance that the BE course are approved by the relevant authorities.
The institution was granted deemed university status by the University Grants Commission in 2004.
Even though the present students have not yet completed their examinations, admissions for the year 2009-10 are in full swing with all these issues unsettled.
An AICTE official said it would look into reports of Sri Muthukumaran Institute of Technology sharing its facilities with Meenakshi University.
