Deemed universities: UGC sets up five-member committee

October 17, 2014 21:06

The University Grants Commission today set up a five-member committee to conduct physical verification of seven universities whose deemed category status has come under question.

The development followed a direction by the Supreme Court which had sought physical verification of infrastructure and faculty strength of deemed universities, which were black-listed by P N Tandon Committee.

At the full commission meeting today, UGC decided to give the committee, which would be headed by its secretary, a month's time to submit its report.

"The committee would point out the deficiencies and ask the varsities to act on them within a stipulated period before a second verification is carried out to ascertain their progress," an official said.
