It further said that the college cannot claim ignorance of rules and the requirements of Section 17(4) of the National Council for Teacher Education Act, 1993.
“…very specifically states that if any degree is granted by a College, which had admitted students during the period when the College suffered from withdrawal of recognition or affiliation, then such a degree or certificate cannot be treated as a valid qualification for the purpose of employment.”
It added that if the college was unaware of such rules, then it had no right to function as an educational institution.
“The course under issue is B.Ed., Course. They train students to become teachers. For a student, who aspires to become a teacher, to uphold moral ethics should be the first quality. While that being so, the petitioner has fallen foul with that ethics,” the order stated.
