UGC India asks Universities to fully implement its Regulations on Autonomous Colleges and allow Affiliated Colleges to function as Autonomous Entities once the UGC has granted them Autonomous Status.
New Delhi, India, February 7, 2024 —
• The University Grants Commission (UGC) in India has instructed all affiliating Universities to comply fully with the University Grants Commission (Conferment of Autonomous Status upon Colleges and Measures for Maintenance of Standards in Autonomous Colleges) Regulations, 2023.
• In a letter addressed to the Vice-Chancellors, the UGC expressed its concern that several universities must respond promptly on the UGC portal when processing applications from affiliated colleges seeking the grant of autonomous status. The UGC requires universities to issue a notification within 30 days for a college to function as an autonomous entity once the UGC confers the Autonomous Status on the college.
• The UGC also noted that some Universities must grant autonomy to the autonomous colleges per the Regulations’ provisions. For instance, they need to allow the colleges to design syllabi, introduce new courses, and evolve methods of student performance assessment on their own.
• Additionally, the UGC has observed that some universities require colleges to agree with terms and conditions that do not conform to the UGC Regulations.
• The UGC will closely monitor the behavior of universities in this connection and take appropriate action as necessary.
