IIT-Madras, IIT-Kharagpur, Delhi University, Banaras Hindu University and University of Hyderabad were recommended for the 'eminence' status by the UGC.

Alongside buying into the grift that is dating apps, the girlies are also installing astrology apps like Astrotalk to investigate the same tired mystery—will he ever text back?
WhatsApp privacy policy case is among a string of matters involving practices like restrictive platform rules, pricing & billing policies, reflecting India’s tight scrutiny of market dominance.
Bihar is blessed with a land more fertile for revolutions than any in India. Why has it fallen so far behind then? Constant obsession with politics is at the root of its destruction.
About Dinesh Singh and his ‘experiments’ the less said the better. His FYUP was the most clumsily conceived scheme – with inputs only from his henchmen in each department. Full papers were divided into half without any consideration of how they would work in the mind of students not familiar with concepts they were dealing with, elementary teaching of the lowest kind was introduced in the first year where even the brightest students were asked to write essays like ‘my journey on the metro today’ and so on. Teaching was directed at the lowest possible common denominator so as to avoid
unpopularity with students. There were innumerable examples of mediocrity and sloppiness in the conception of the scheme and this man has the gall to claim he was promoting higher academics. He was thrown out by a party he was cosying up to – the BJP – even though the maximum support he got was from his college friends like Shashi Tharoor and Kapil Sibal of the Congress. He is a fraud posing as an academic.
We need deregulation. Why is Modi not doing it? About time to stop blaming Congress, who I agree did an abysmal job. BJP is in their 2nd term in power and keep the same policies. An absolute abdication of responsibilities.
Root of all ailments:
The “system” doesn’t Trust the very people who runs it, nor who comes under it.
– that’s the pivotal criterion of any Law/Act ever made in independent India; not just Education, every sector that comes under Govt perview.
Why – (it’s well known) Corruption control, untrustworthyness of people, culture of taking advantage of anything by gaming all “system”
Origin – Colonial culture under Foreign rule
Reason for Continuation – Bone less pillars of “democracy”
Intent to Correct – just imagine, the outcome of Demo exercise: a street smart 60+ yr old PM got fooled so bad in broad daylight!
I commented and gave the example of doings of Dr. Dinesh Singh during his vice-chancellorship, when I read a news that the UGC wants to introduce 4-year bachelor degree course. It was published in the Mint. Dr. Singh had already introduced during his tenure in DU. But it was abandoned. Now the UGC wants to replicate it throughout India. Some of his brainchild have been practicing at the Cluster Innovation Centre, University of Delhi.
The autonomy of education system without establishing decentralization in Indian Education System. The institution like UGC and NAAC needs to be restricted fro the purpose of grants. Their regulatory framework in country like ours is highly undesired.
Exactly, I agree on most of the opinion. But again please look at the lower level of our HEI’s (like state universities/private universities/colleges etc). Do you think that these organizations can function without regulations. These “deregulation” would lead them into a chaotic situation. Degrees would be bought and sold…….or favors would be given and taken…………..In my opinion what UGC have done by way of regulation is that it have restored some degree of “sense and stability” in the education system …….
There is no guarantee that freedom given by the regulator would not be exploited. e.g our IITs would have gone down the drain like our universities if it were not for the “special law” that protect them…….these could have been easily occupied by a class of “non performing people” or NPA……reducing these institutes to “white elephants”……………………
Are we ready for such kind of deregulation? I do not think so. look at our banks…..bank frauds/NPA etc. . can we think of copying the private banking system of USA. On the contrary RBI’s regulations and strict control have helped it from going bust.
‘Leftist Congressi Academicians’ of the university wanted MHRD and UGC to regulate the universities at that time are now showcasing their opposition to the same regulatory mechanism for opposing the current government. At now point, they wanted Indian Education System to undergo reform that can cater the needs of the nation and the society. For them politics to survive in corridors of power begins from controlling the education systems in the name of ‘liberalization’.

Education requires quality candidates and not quantity
