Don’t open any more institutes using the name ‘Princeton’: this is what the Delhi High Court has told a Hyderabad-based education society in an appeal by the trustees of Princeton University.
The United States-based Ivy League university had objected to the use of the name by Vagdevi Educational Society, headquartered in Hyderabad, which runs the Princeton School of Education, Princeton School of Engineering and Technology, Princeton Degree and PG College, Princeton PG College of Information Technology, Princeton PG College of Management and Princeton College of Pharmacy.
According to the institutes, they have been using the name since the last 34 years.
The society had justified that it established many colleges and societies with the name “as an ode to the Prince of Hyderabad and his farsightedness”.
