The University Grants Commission (UGC) has released an updated list of universities that have failed to appoint ombudspersons, as mandated by the University Grants Commission (Redressal of Grievances of Students) Regulations, 2023.

This list includes several prominent institutions such as Rajiv Gandhi Proudyogiki Vishwavidyalaya (RGPV), Calcutta University, and National Institute of Technical Teachers Training & Research (NITTR).
