UGC declares 54 state private universities defaulters, highest count in MP. Check full list

The UGC move comes after an order issued by the commission in June 2024, requiring all universities to share important information on their websites.

The University Grants Commission (UGC) recently issued notices to Azim Premji University, Bhopal, Amity University in Patna, Ranchi, and Mohali, and 50 other private universities across the country for not submitting the required information under Section 13 of the UGC Act, 1956, and not making public disclosures on their websites.

This comes after an order issued by the commission in June 2024, requiring all universities to share important information on their websites. These details should also be easily accessible.

Notably, universities were also asked to submit information for inspection purposes. The data had to be submitted in the prescribed soft copy format, along with documents verified by the university registrar. They were also asked to upload these completed formats on their official websites.

However, despite repeated requests, some of the institutions failed to act and were listed as defaulters by the Commission.

A total of 54 private institutions across the country have been sent notices by UGC, according to a report by Hindustan. At 10, Madhya Pradesh had the maximum number of defaulter institutes.
