The UGC's action against 54 private universities comes amid growing calls for greater transparency and accountability in higher education.
"The University Grants Commission (UGC) has issued a formal notice to 54 state private universities across India for failing to comply with regulations under Section 13 of the UGC Act, 1956, and for not uploading required public self-disclosure information on their official websites.
The notice refers to the Public Self-Disclosure by Higher Education Institutions, 2024 guidelines issued by the UGC on June 10, 2024.
These guidelines require universities to maintain functional websites where key information is accessible to the public without the need for login or registration.
Universities were directed to submit detailed data along with attested documents through their registrar’s office.
They were also required to upload this information on their website with a link on the home page to ensure transparency for students, parents, and other stakeholders.
Despite repeated reminders through emails and online meetings, 54 state private universities have not complied with the requirements. The UGC’s latest action underscores growing concerns about transparency and accountability in higher education.
The list includes universities from states such as Assam, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Goa, Gujarat, Haryana, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Manipur, Punjab, Rajasthan, Sikkim, Tripura, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and West Bengal."
