The Delhi High Court on Tuesday asked Delhi Metro to put up disclaimer
notices that the coaching centre, FIIT-JEE, is in no manner connected to
the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT).
Justice Vibhu Bakhru
directed that the disclaimer should be of similar font and size in which
FIIT-JEE was written at the IIT Metro station or any other place where
the name had been used.
IIT-Delhi protested after the IIT-Delhi
Metro station, located just outside the institute's campus, was named
"FIITJEE-IIT" after Delhi Metro auctioned the naming right of the
station to the coaching institute.
IIT-Delhi protested to the
Union Human Resource Development (HRD) Ministry and said the co-branding
signage gave a wrong message that the engineering institute had a
partnership with the coaching institute.
After IIT-Delhi flagged the matter, the HRD Ministry asked the Housing and Urban Affairs Ministry to look into it.
The
IIT sought directions to the Delhi Metro to not use its name in
conjunction with that of FIIT-JEE, claiming it was tarnishing the image
of the premier engineering institute.
The institute said in its
plea that due to the coupling of the names, it was getting queries and
complaints from aspiring candidates, parents and even alumni asking if
FIIT-JEE was the official coaching partner for those aspiring to gain
entrance to IIT.
So far, DMRC has auctioned naming rights in over 40 Metro stations across the capital.
