Q.1) Please tell us your views about the recent De-Recognition of CPS courses in Maharashtra?


We believe that the order has been passed in undue haste, without holistically looking and verifying various facts, and allowing CPS to address various issues. We have always protected the interests of our students and provided the best opportunities to our students; be it infrastructure wise, course wise and faculty wise. Being a 111-year institution, we faced many situations before as well and we overcame all of them. CPS is exploring its options and I am sure we will overcome this phase as well. Under such circumstances we urge all our students not to panic.
