(1) When upon report by the Executive Committee it appears to
the Council--
(a) that the courses of study and examination to be undergone in, or the proficiency required from
the candidates at any examination held by, any college or institution, or
(b) that the staff, equipment, accommodation, training and other facilities for staff and training
provided in such college or institution,
do not conform to the standards prescribed by regulations, the Council shall make a representation to that
effect to appropriate Government.
(2) After considering such representation the appropriate Government shall forward it along with such
remarks as it may choose to make to the college or institution concerned, with an intimation of the period
within which the college or institution, as the case may be, may submit its explanation to the appropriate
Government.
(3) On receipt of the explanation or where no explanation is submitted within the period fixed, then
on the expiry of that period, the State Government, in respect of the college or institution referred to in

institution referred to in sub-section (3), or
(b) on receipt of the explanation from a college or institution referred to in clause (a) of
sub-section (5), or where no explanation is submitted within the period fixed, then on the expiry of
that period,
may, by notification in the Official Gazette, direct that an entry shall be made in the Schedule against the
architectural qualification awarded by such college or institution, as the case may be, declaring that it
shall be a recognised qualification only when granted before a specified date and the Schedule shall be
deemed to be amended accordingly.
