No new institution will get the institute of eminence (IoE) tag, at least till the next elections. The University Grants Commission (UGC) has sought the Centre’s clarification on whether the expert panel’s proposal, which increases the number of institutes of eminence to 30, the process will get delayed as there is “no time left for consultations” in the run-up to the general elections, sources in the HRD ministry said.
The Commission in its meeting on Tuesday discussed extension of IoE tag to 30 institutions, 10 more than initially decided. The UGC decided to ask for a clarification after the Empowered Expert Committee’s (EEC) recommended 19 more universities for IoE status in December 2018, making the list go up to 30.
The government’s original plan was to accord the IoE status to 10 public and 10 private institutes to develop them as worldclass institutions. The 10 government institutions, in addition to autonomy, will also get ₹1,000 crore each from the HRD ministry to achieve world-class status.
