JNTU-H mandated that an engg. college should get an NOC to start a new course
The Telangana High Court had passed interim directions setting aside the regulations of Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University Hyderabad (JNTU-H) that private engineering colleges should take permission from State government to start new courses or increase intake of students in courses.
A Bench of Justices A. Rajasheker Reddy and T. Vinod Kumar of the HC issued the directions after hearing a batch of writ petitions challenging JNTU-H’s regulation no. 345556 filed by groups of 11 engineering colleges.
The Bench also instructed JNTU-H to grant affiliation to the colleges which filed writ petitions.

The draft policy for “Responsible Digital Use Among Students”, released on Monday by the Department of Health and Family Welfare, has recommended that parents set structured routines with clear screen-time rules and prioritise privacy, safety, and open conversation with children on digital well-being.
