“Further, the managements of private junior colleges running in mixed occupancy buildings have been directed to take the declaration forms from every student and keep it with them without fail. In case of failure in obtaining declaration forms from students they will be liable for criminal and other actions by students concerned and the TSBIE, for fraud and misrepresentation. Further, all the Principals are directed to keep these proceedings in College Notice Board for information to the students, without fail,” TSBIE said.

The declaration form, which has to be submitted by the students, will acknowledge that the junior colleges are currently functioning in a mixed occupancy building and the management is unable to obtain a Fire NOC from the concerned department.

The private junior college has to shift to a suitable building next year and in case the college is unable to do so, the student will have to get admitted in another junior college for second year Intermediate and TSBIE will not be responsible to provide admission to another college.
