The West Bengal government on Friday cancelled the approval of 253 of the state’s 624 private colleges that offer the Bachelor of Education (B.Ed) course for aspiring school teachers after investigations revealed anomalies and malpractices at these institutions, officials said.

B.Ed colleges cannot operate without approval from this university.

The state’s action comes months after Bengal governor C V Ananda Bose said he would cancel the approval of a number of private B.Ed colleges.

Raj Bhawan has received complaints of illegal activities against several institutions, Bose, the chancellor of all state-run universities, said in August.
