The University Grants Commission (UGC) has directed all universities and institutions not to award any new degree without the prior approval from the commission.
Many private institutions are offering degrees in new areas without UGC nod. Students enrolled in such courses face issues when they opt to apply for government posts or pursue higher education.
“It has been observed that some universities/ institutions are awarding unspecified degrees leading to litigation and different problems for the students conferred with such degrees. The universities are once again requested to abide by the provision of section 22 of the UGC Act, 1956, and award only such degrees as have been specified by the UGC,” UGC secretary Rajnish Jain said in a circular to all universities. The circular said the consolidated list of UGC approved degrees is available on UGC website.
