Controversy

In May 2019, Golaghat Engineering College was denied approval by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) due to failure to meet 17 eligibility criteria, including the absence of a permanent principal and faculty members. The college, inaugurated in February 2019, faced resource shortages. Despite this, the 92 enrolled students were allowed to continue their studies. [3]
