New Delhi:
Inspections conducted by the UGC into the functioning of private universities have found a number of irregularities, including running non-approved courses by some of them like Amity University.
None of the innovative professional and technical courses offered by Amity University has got approval of relevant statutory bodies, a UGC committee has found.
The UGC had set up separate committees to inspect the functioning of eight universities as part of the process to include them in the list of recognised universities being maintained by it.
The committees were critical of the functioning of two universities - Amity University in Uttar Pradesh and Martin Luther Christian University (MLUC) in Meghalaya. The committee, led by Prof B S Sonde, visited the Amity University in July this year.
In its report, the committee said, "The University is offering a range of innovative professional and technical programmes in emerging areas. None of the programmes has received the approval of relevant professional councils".
The Bar Council of India's approval is for the school of law and it was obtained before the university was born, it said. The approval needs to be revalidated by the university now, it said.
