VTU asks principals of engineering colleges to dedicate time slots for student interaction and grievance redressal
The colleges have been asked to maintain a grievance log book. In the log book, the principal must record the date, brief nature of the grievance/query, and the action taken or resolution provided, wherever applicable.
The Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU) has issued a directive to principals of affiliated engineering colleges, requiring them to set aside designated time slots for students to meet with the principal regarding academic, administrative, or other genuine concerns. These time slots must be clearly displayed outside the principal's office so that students are aware of when they can approach them for discussions.
In addition to establishing these interaction periods, colleges are also asked to maintain a grievance log book. This log book must record essential details such as the date of the interaction, a brief description of the grievance or query, and a record of the action taken by the principal or the resolution provided in response to the issue.
VTU has informed the colleges that the Local Inspection Committee (LIC), responsible for affiliation and inspection processes, may verify the implementation of this system during their visits. This ensures accountability and transparency in handling student grievances across all affiliated engineering colleges.
It is important to note that all terms and conditions for any associated comments or communications must be in English, written in full sentences, and must be respectful and non-abusive. Personal attacks or harassment will not be tolerated, and adhering to the community guidelines is essential for maintaining a positive and constructive environment for all stakeholders involved.
