The TSBIE officials who are part of the committee include Controller of Examinations, Joint Secretaries for Exams, Administration, Academic and Public Relations Officer (PRO).
The managements of junior colleges wishing to advertise achievements of their students must submit their applications along with the advertisements to the PRO (who is member of the special committee) for approval. The Committee will then scrutinize the content of submitted advertisements, make necessary suggestions (if required) and give its approval before publication, Navin Mittal said.
The TSBIE decision to launch a special committee comes in the wake of allegations of corporate junior colleges giving out misleading advertisements over the top ranks by students in entrance tests such as Joint Entrance Examination and National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) UG to lure gullible parents and students into their respective colleges.
