UNION GOVERNMENT has taken a delayed but welcome initiative for checking high-level irregularities in private universities which are virtually education-shops’ to mint money, when it derecognised 44 deemed universities.
But this is not enough. University Grants Commission (UGC) should play a role of perfect monitoring authority over all private universities in a manner Reserve Bank of India monitors all banks including private banks. Such a step will effectively check malpractices in private universities especially in respect of fees-structure.
Some private universities (like Amity University) have a ‘white-elephant’ fees-structure in form of ‘sponsored category’ over and above their ‘normal’ elephant-like fees structure. This so-termed sponsored category is nothing but a back-door admission tactics charging double fees from the students than normally fixed.

Rather UGC should order refund of extra fees already charged from students in name of categories like ‘sponsored fees’ by Amity University.
Then only self-regulation will be possible in a system where private sector is dominating all fields in day-to-day life.
Also Right to Information (RTI) Act should be extended to private sector as well.
Very Sad to hear.
ReplyDeleteWho derecognized deemed universities? Who have such POWERS? FUN OF THE YEAR.
If newspaper people write stories, Will India's written Acts change?
Show me a section in UGC Act , stating the steps to de-recognise a university? If no provisions in UGC Act, how you are going to de-recignize?
Some people ask government given permission, why can't they take back? Nice question, in this case the government need to amend the UGC Act. IS IT POSSIBLE IN THE NEAR FUTURE WITH JUST MAJORITY?
And, deemed universities are not deemed universities, they are deemed to be universities. And from the date of notification, they are universities. You are not supposed to call them other than a University.
Do you call a deemed public limited company as deemed Ltd? hahaa
India is filled with people who are ignorent of Law, and newspaper people know how to create stories and the political people know how to extract money utelizing the situation!!! Thats all... Both works as the faces of a coin.
I am aware of Law. As a law abiding citizen I am posting this. If you have a different opinion, please mail to me rajitlal@yahoo.com
