Hi,
for those interested in opening engg colleges etc with international
accreditation it would be good to note that even Harvard does not get
accreditation from only one body -- but it gets one overall accreditation from
New England Association http://www.harvard.edu/siteguide/faqs/faq114.html
and then each faculty /school gets separate accreditation for its programs -
like http://www.hms.harvard.edu/orsp/human/IRBNews.html - at the medical
school.
Same should do the Indian univs opening branches abroad - get individual prgram
accreditated by its specialized body.
This post is from 2005 when I was attending Harvard's Summer program (I paid
nothing - just sat there) and heard the VP of New England's top accreditation
body http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg14443.html

I was talking to another Assamnet member about the idea of opening an engg
college in USA itself gien that we have top professors like Jugal-da Kalita etc
and than Indian always boast of 8.000 professors in USA -- but no founder of
engg college.
It seems an Indian univ has chosen to go globa with US, UK campuses -- but
seems to have no standing in India -- accreditated from the body in inland and
none in India.http://www.raiuniversity.edu/aboutrui/aboutrui.asp
http://www.hindu.com/2006/02/26/stories/2006022617540400.htm it seems they have
roped in top Indian VIPs who spoke on seminars without looking up the
credentials of the univ. Should they mention a statutory warning :
"Beware - Our univ not approved by Govt of India and only by Finland!!"

I just got this weblink by the person who had put it on the blog.- a student
of Rai Univ I started using YahooMessener recently and she sent me this bit of
hard news
http://theviewspaper.net/?p=209
It seems that even if the Assam state govt allows private engg colleges to
come up they can still be harrassed by Indian govt bodies and that they have to
comply to them -
I told her that in US private bodies examine your transcripts --look at the
detailed syllabus -and what level you would fit at -- rather than just looking
for the govt stamp on a degree.
Any comments.
