The Government Polytechnic College, Kalamassery, has expelled four final-year students arrested in connection with the seizure of nearly two kg of suspected ganja from the men’s hostel within the college campus last month. The expelled students have been identified as Anuraj R., 21, mechanical engineering, Adityan, 20, mechanical engineering; Abhiraj, 21, automobile engineering; and Aksah, 21, chemical engineering. The decision to dismiss them was based on the report of an internal inquiry committee, which recommended that they be issued transfer certificates without further delay. However, Aiju Thomas, the college principal, said that the move was merely technical since all the affected students have completed their respective courses, as they were allowed to appear for their final year exams despite being suspended, and an inquiry was ordered against them. “A lab exam remains, and they will be allowed to appear for it. However, their conduct certificate will only be marked as ‘satisfactory,” he said. The Kochi city police had seized 1.90 kg of suspected ganja and less than 10 g from two separate rooms during …

Admissions for diploma in technical courses, which have concluded in Maharashtra this year, have seen a more than 50 per cent increase in the past five years. Consider the numbers: This year, 95,246 students have taken admission in 400 diploma institutes. Five years ago, in the academic year 2020-21, there were 62,122 admissions in 376 diploma institutes. While there is a combination of factors driving this increased demand among students to pursue diploma courses, teachers say one of the biggest contributors is more job opportunities. Shridhar Vaidya, secretary of Teachers Association For Non-Aided Polytechnic (TAFNAP), said, “Diploma is a professional education encompassing practical knowledge of the job.

This leads to many students, especially those seeking early employment; preferring diploma courses.” According to Vaidya, with diploma in technical courses, students are also seeing good career opportunities, …
