UGC inspects 53 private universities, finds only 5 in order

New Delhi, Dec 15 : The University Grants Commission has inspected over a third of the 145 private universities in the country and found only five of them in order, the Rajya Sabha was informed



Explaining the procedure, he said UGC gives time to universities to rectify any deficiency. If norms or guidelines are not followed, “UGC can order closure of courses but it has no power to close the universities.”
