[Assam] Is Harvard accreditated? Assam Intl Univ. USA; a bittersweet tale of private univ engg girl student from India

[umesh sharma]

Hi,

for those interested in opening engg colleges etc with international accreditation it would be good to note that even Harvard does not get accreditation from only one body -- but it gets one overall accreditation from New England Association http://www.harvard.edu/siteguide/faqs/faq114.html
 and then each faculty /school gets separate accreditation for its programs - like http://www.hms.harvard.edu/orsp/human/IRBNews.html - at the medical school. 

Same should do the Indian univs opening branches abroad - get individual prgram accreditated by its specialized body.

This post is from 2005 when I was attending Harvard's Summer program (I paid nothing - just sat there) and heard the VP of New England's top accreditation body http://www.mail-archive.com/assam@pikespeak.uccs.edu/msg14443.html

I was talking to another Assamnet member about the idea of opening an engg college in USA itself gien that we have top professors like Jugal-da Kalita etc and than Indian always boast of 8.000 professors in USA -- but no founder of engg college.

 It seems an Indian univ has chosen to go globa with US, UK campuses -- but seems to have no standing in India -- accreditated from the body in inland and none in India.http://www.raiuniversity.edu/aboutrui/aboutrui.asp http://www.hindu.com/2006/02/26/stories/2006022617540400.htm it seems they have roped in top Indian VIPs who spoke on seminars without looking up the credentials of the univ. Should they mention a statutory warning : 
"Beware - Our univ not approved by Govt of India and only by Finland!!"

  I just got this weblink by the person who had put it on the blog.- a student of Rai Univ I started using YahooMessener recently and she sent me this bit of hard news 
  http://theviewspaper.net/?p=209
  It seems that even if the Assam state govt allows private engg colleges to come up they can still be harrassed by Indian govt bodies and that they have to comply to them - 
   
  I told her that in US private bodies examine your transcripts --look at the detailed syllabus -and what level you would fit at -- rather than just looking for the govt stamp on a degree. 
   
  Any comments.
