Anna University has decided to stop giving course affiliation to more than 100
engineering colleges because they showed fake faculty members for two academic
years.
On Monday, the university sent show-cause notices to 82 engineering colleges,
asking why affiliation should not be suspended for 188 programmes that had up
to 45% fake faculty members in the 2024–25 academic year.
The university also imposed a fine of ₹3 lakh to ₹5 lakh on 163 engineering
colleges for listing more than two fake faculty members for 2024–25.
