President Pranab Mukherjee has returned to Delhi Assembly for reconsideration a bill on upgradation of Netaji Subhas Institute of Technology (NSIT) into a university.
Delhi Assembly Speaker Ram Niwas Goel confirmed the news and said that the bill passed in 2015 has been returned to the house by the President.
The Delhi Netaji Subhas University of Technology Bill, 2015 was passed by the Assembly in June 2015 with an aim to upgrade NSIT into a separate university. NSIT is currently affiliated to Delhi University.
Last week Lt Governor Anil Baijal returned a file of the Aam Aadmi Party government's ambitious proposal of reducing the fares of DTC and Cluster buses drastically by 75 per cent to the government for reconsideration.
At present there are over 3,000 seats in NSIT but after upgrading it to a university the number of seats were to be increased to 12,000 in three to four years.
