New Delhi, July 25: The mushrooming proliferation of private educational institutions, who are given indiscriminate recognition, was brought to light in the Supreme Court, with both judges and attorney expressing "amazement" at how students got degrees in some of these places without even attending classes.

Justice G.S. Singhvi unveiled the mask over the murky doings of these intuitions when he said a student in Barmer, Rajasthan, got admission in a college in Rewa, Madhya Pradesh, for B.Ed and eventually also got a degree - without crossing the Rajasthan-Madhya Pradesh border. He now aspires to be teacher in Rajasthan.

Justice Singhvi said this was not an isolated story but "folklore" in Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra and Gujarat. What Justice Singhvi said got greater authentication when senior counsel P.S. Patwalia, who appeared for some of the private B.Ed. colleges, said, "I am amazed" at the state of affairs. (IANS)
