Engineering colleges under Anna University in Tamil Nadu acquired affiliation by resorting to fraudulent means, as per the findings of Chennai-based anti-graft NGO Arappor Iyakkam. Multiple colleges presented the same persons as full-time faculty during inspections in 2023-24, allegedly with the knowledge of the University. Right to Information (RTI) petitions and documents uploaded by Anna University on their website accessed by the NGO show that 353 teachers were presented as full-time faculty in more than one engineering college. Among the 353, two professors of Engineering were presented as full-time faculty in as many as 11 different Engineering colleges and three professors in 10 different colleges among others. Of the 480 colleges affiliated to Anna University, 224 colleges (almost 50% of them) have committed the fraud. TNM’s Senior News Editor Shabbir Ahmed speaks to Arapoor Iyakkam convener Jayaram Venkatesh on how the NGO blew the lid off the massive scam.
