The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), the apex body regulating technical education, last month barred seven colleges in Karjat from admitting students for the upcoming academic year. Hundreds of teachers and staff of these institutes were on a strike to protest the delay. The SES’s campus on Bhivpuri Road in Karjat has engineering, management and pharmacy colleges. After receiving a complaint from teachers, AICTE officials visited the SES campus to look into the allegations. Earlier this year, the apex body had also put 22 colleges run by Sinhgad Technical Education Society (STES) in the no admission category.
