UGC Urges Universities to Implement Autonomous College Regulations
The University Grants Commission (UGC) has urged affiliating universities to implement the UGC Conferment of Autonomous Status upon Colleges and Measures for Maintenance of Standards in Autonomous Colleges Regulations 2023. These regulations, announced on April 3, 2023, redefine the roles within the academic framework.
According to the stipulations, the UGC has curtailed the university's involvement and granted affiliated and constituent colleges the ability to independently seek administrative autonomy. The regulatory body has noticed a lack of responsiveness from numerous universities on the UGC portal regarding the processing of applications from affiliated colleges seeking autonomous status.
This is in violation of the stipulated timeframe of 30 working days. It said that there is also a delay in issuing notification within 30 days after the autonomous status is awarded to the affiliating college by commission.
