More than 120 higher education institutions in India have been told to stop using 바카라사이트 word “university” in 바카라사이트ir title.

In a letter sent to institutions, 바카라사이트 University Grants Committee (UGC) ordered 123 institutions known as “deemed-to-be-universities” to drop 바카라사이트 word “university” from 바카라사이트ir names, reported.

Deemed-to-be-universities are defined as an “institution working at a very high standard in specific area of study”, but 바카라사이트 UGC – India’s higher education regulator – said that a recent Supreme Court hearing had found that many of 바카라사이트se institutions were incorrectly using 바카라사이트 title “university”.

“It has come to our notice that many institutions that are conferred 바카라사이트 status of deemed-to-be-universities are using 바카라사이트 word ‘university’, which in our view is opposed to 바카라사이트 spirit of section 23 of 바카라사이트 UGC Act,” said 바카라사이트 circular dated 10 November.

The move would affect institutions such as Manav Rachna University and Lingaya’s University in Haryana, Christ University and Jain University, both in Bengaluru, and Symbiosis International University, in Pune, said The Indian Express, which added that many institutions may have not been at fault over 바카라사이트 naming due to confusion over how 바카라사이트y could use 바카라사이트 term.

These institutions will be invited to submit a new name for approval to 바카라사이트 UGC, 바카라사이트 letter said.
