Account BenefitMany students complained, Diploma teachers cannot take the classes of BSc engineering courses. They're also not able to be private tutors. So, they're trying to launch diploma courses in the textile engineering colleges.

The teachers told them four days ago, the Ministry of Jute and Textiles taking the initiative to introduce the Diploma course in Textile Engineering Colleges across the country.

The students said, re-launching of diploma courses will lower the quality of education where the BSC engineering courses are not being taught properly.

Principal Shiv Shankar Chakraborty said, the decision of launching diploma courses was taken by the Ministry. The college authorities have nothing to do about this.
