GO reverses promotion of many government engg. college principals, promotes 43 others with retrospective effect
With the promotions of several government engineering college principals and joint directors revoked following a court directive, the top echelons of technical education in the State will wear a new look.
The extraordinary move comes on the basis of a Kerala High Court directive that requires the government to comply with the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) norms for promotion to the posts of principals in government engineering colleges. The government order (GO) reversing the promotions was issued on November 11.
As many as 18 faculty members, including A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technological University Vice Chancellor Rajasree M.S.; Director of Technical Education Byjubai T.P.; and Kerala Public Service Commission member M.R. Baiju; are among those whose temporary promotions as principals have been reversed.
