Telangana: HC Directs Government to Grant Affiliations to New B.Ed Colleges
If the government grants affiliation to 20 more colleges, around 1500 additional seats will be added to the total number of vacant seats.
The High Court of Telangana directed the government to grant affiliations to 20 new B.Ed colleges as early as possible. The state government allegedly denied granting affiliations to these colleges.
