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

[umesh sharma]

Rai International  University USA seems to be unsure even of the location of its Accreditation Body - which its says is in Finland - whereas it is actaully in USA - http://www.iaagency.org/ newly created in 2005.
Is it useful for any Indian or US engg college etc set up by NRAs etc.

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.
