New Delhi: Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) was issued orders by University Grants Commission (UGC), to conduct entrance exam for admissions in the deemed universities. On the other hand, the admission fees will be regulated according to the proposal set up by the fee fixation panels.
As per sources, the UGC, last year, had set up a committee under Pondicherry University Vice Chancellor Prof. J.A.K. Tareen, to scrutinize the admission process and fee structure in the institutes, which were under UGC's lens, to acquire the deemed status.
Whatever changes were recommended by the committee have been well accepted by both UGC and HRD Ministry's review committee, comprising of four members, set up under the reign of HRD Minister Mr Kapil Sibal, to study the functioning of all 127 deemed universities across the India.
Improvising in the admission procedures too falls under the recommendation of Ministry's review committee report that although finished its work, but its details are yet to be made public. It has also advocated narrowing down the difference of fees in government-aided institutes and deemed universities.
