Its been quite a while since this university is started with lot of expectation in creating excellence in technical education under the leadership of Dr. Radhakrishnan as Vice chancellor. Initially it looked like good. But down the line, it has faced many challenges and failed from fundamental service itself. They have started many programs without even proper planning. Current issues include:
- Departments need to be staffed sufficiently with right faculties
- Poor infrastructure – Mill is converted into University Campus
- Academic schedule should be planned well – No transparency on when the results will be announced and when the paper correction will get over
- Misfocused – University is paying attention to science and arts courses which leave other ordinary universities in problem, leaving its own reason for existence
- Web site maintenance should be improved - Lacking lot of information
- Program Poor Planning: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Chennai/Distance-edu-students-sore-over-univs-poor-planning/articleshow/4331843.cms
- Legal issues: http://www.ptinews.com/pti/ptisite.nsf/0/C41F173C1D4D8F0765257583006E92A3?OpenDocument
Even having the good educational base and support in Coimbatore (GCT, PSG, CIT etc.), this university is struggling to survive. Need to have strong governance with defined Vision.
