Union Minister for Human Resource Development, Kapil Sibal has suggested the setting up of a Council for all the Deemed to be Universities to co-ordinate matters of common interest. Mr. Sibal made the suggestion while addressing the meeting of the Vice Chancellors of Deemed to be Universities held in New Delhi yesterday to discuss about the Joint Entrance Examination for admission to Engineering courses and implementation of uniform accounting standards in these institutions. The Minister said, the council for all the Deemed to be Universities can co-ordinate matters of common interest with representation of Vice Chancellors, prominent academicians and the UGC and the Ministry of HRD. The concept and modalities of Joint Entrance Examination were explained to the participants in the meeting and detailed discussions were held. An official said, the proposal was to have a single exam in engineering giving weightage to School Board marks for all CFTI (Centrally Funded Technical Institutions) and the Deemed to be Universities were welcome to join it so that not only the system of exam is streamlined but also reduces the stress and inconvenience on the students.
