DEEMED UNIVERSITIES DE-RECOGNITION
.
The HRD Ministry, Govt. of India, has decided to de-recognize as many as 44 "deemed universities", spelling uncertainty for nearly two lakh students who are enrolled with them.
The ministry's decision amounts to an acknowledgment of irregularities in conferring the "deemed" tag to these institutions under the first UPA government in which Arjun Singh was the HRD minister.
Deemed university is a status of autonomy granted to high-performing institutes and departments of various universities, allowing them to set their own guidelines for admission, syllabus and even fees.The government will allow the institutions to run under their parent universities so as to not jeopardise the future of students.
Nearly two lakh students are enrolled in these universities in 13 states across India.The bulk of the 44 institutions are in Tamil Nadu: St. Peter’s Engineering College, Avadi; the Noorul Islam College of Engineering, Kumaracoil, Thuckalay; the Meenakshi Medical College and Research Institute - Kancheepuram, and other institutions run by this university; the Chettinad Hospital and Research Institute, Padur, the Chettinad College of Nursing; the Saveetha Dental College and Hospital; the Saveetha Medical College and Hospital and other institutions; the Arulmigu Kalasalingam College of Engineering, Virudhunagar; the Periyar Maniammai College of Technology, Thanjavur; the Academy of Maritime Education and Research, Chennai; Vel’s Institute of Science, Technology and Advanced Studies, Chennai; the Vel Tech Engineering College; the Karpagam Academy of Higher Education, Pollachi; Vinayaka Mission’s Research Foundation, Salem, and the Balaji Vidyapeeth, Puducherry.Some are in the NCR Delhi Region, such as Manav Rachna, Shobit and Santosh, are spread across the country.The List Also includes institute of History of Art Conservation and Musicology running from Janpath in the capital, Bangalore’s Christ College and Jaypee Institute of Information Technology in Noida are among the institutes short of their status. These deemed universities were found deficient on many grounds — ranging from lack of infrastructure to lack of evidence of expertise in disciplines they claim to specialize in.
Another 44 institutions have been given three years to rectify the shortcomings.
