UGC Comes Open with Rules and Suggestions

The UGC has written to the Chief Secretaries, Home Secretaries and the Education Secretaries of all the states to check the menace of the fake universities and take some necessary action against them.

The body also suggested all the Education Secretaries in the States and the Union Territories to initiate a drive against those institutions offering degrees without the approval of competent authorities like the UGC, the AICTE and the Distance Education Council (DEC) in the States/Union Territories.

Further to this, the Central Government introduced “The Prohibition of Unfair Practices in Technical Educational Institutions, Medical Educational Institutions and Universities Bill, 2010” in Parliament for the prohibition and punishment of certain unfair practices in technical educational institutions, medical educational institutions and universities.
