DATED : 12 September 2011. P.C. The petitioner has recently been granted approval by AICTE to start postgraduate course in Masters of Computer Application. Since the approval was granted by the AICTE on 3 August 2011 the petitioners could participate in the Centralised Admission Process only in the third round which was held in Mumbai on 18 and 19 August 2011. The petitioner No.1 College could get only 17 students for the said course and petitioner No.2 College could get only 46 students and large number of seats are lying vacant. In this petition the petitioners have prayed for a direction to the Director of Technical Education to hold additional round for filling up the vacant postgraduate seats in Masters of Computer Application course. 2. Mr. Patil, learned Government Pleader for respondent Nos. 1 and 2 gopi 2 wp-6952-11 submits that ordinarily the Director of Technical Education accepts approval from AICTE till 30 June 2011, but in view of the fact that the AICTE had decided to accept the applications for approval late i.e. till February, 2011, this Court has given direction to the Director of Technical Education to include the colleges approved by the AICTE even after 30 June 2011. However, the Director of Technical Education cannot be directed to hold further Centralised Admission Process rounds and it is open to the petitioners to enroll students on their own till 15 September 2011. 3. At this stage the learned Counsel for the petitioners submits that since the approval was granted very late by AICTE the State Government and the Director of Technical Education may extend the last date for enrollment of students upto 30 September 2011. 4. Having heard the learned Counsel for the parties, we dispose of this petition in terms of the following directions:- (i) The Director of Technical Education shall display on their Website the information about the colleges approved by the AICTE and the courses offered by such colleges. (It may not be possible for the Director of Technical Education to indicate the number of seats which are lying vacant in the concerned colleges). (ii) The learned Government Pleader also placed on record the information about the number of Institutes, CAP Intake, CAP Admitted and Vacancy in the last round of CAP. This information shall also be displayed by tomorrow i.e. by 5.00 p.m. on 13 September 2011. gopi 3 wp-6952-11 (iii) It is clarified that we may not be treated to have expressed any opinion on such request.
