The Mumbai University and College Teachers Association ( MUCTA) on Saturday alleged that the Vice Chancellor ( VC) of Mumbai University Dr Rajan Welukar has given an approval to appoint Dr KTV Reddy as principal of the Padmabhushan Vasantdada Patil Engineering ( PVPE) College at Sion, even as the college itself is mired in controversy.

The PVPE college was in the news for all the wrong reasons recently when first the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation ( BMC) declared that the top two floors of the college had been constructed illegally and then the college was found to lack adequate senior teaching staff to teach the students.
