Our readers will know that on December 16, 2013 EPSI managed to persuade Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) to extend the deadline for collecting the feedback on the “draft UGC guidelines” for regulating the Technical Education. A 12-member EPSI delegation, lead by Dr G Vishwananthan, Chancellor, VIT University & President of EPSI and Dr H Chaturvedi, Director, BIMTECH & Alternate President EPSI, met Dr Pallam Raju met Union Minister of Human Resource Development M.M. Pallam Raju  on December 16, and shared its concerns about the rushed manner in which UGC was trying to push through this important regulation, giving stakeholders just 5 days to give their feedback. Minster Pallam Raju is believed to have accepted EPSI’s plea and has extended the deadline for consultation to December 31.  In its meeting with the HRD Minister EPSI is believed to have also discussed the impact of UGC Guideline on PGDM institutions.

MBAUniverse.com was the first media platform in the country to have reported this development.

 

To trace back the development for our readers, on December 3, University Grants Commission (UGC) had announced new “draft guidelines to regulate thousands of technical colleges including engineering and management schools in the country. UGC had asked education institutions for any feedback to be given by December 9, just 6 days to file their objections. EPSI and other education bodies had objected to this hasty move by UGC. This move by UGC comes seven months after the Supreme Court Verdict that questioned the authority of the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) to regulate technical education.

 

The new guidelines suggest that UGC is likely to regulate the 3500+ MBA programs offered by Public Universities and their affiliating colleges.

On December 9, both Education Promotion Society of India (EPSI) and the newly formed Indian Association of Autonomous Business Schools objected to the rushed manner in which UGC is trying to create a new regulatory framework.

 

MBAUniverse.com readers will remember that your portal was the first media platform to raise the concern about the rushed and non-participatory manner in which UGC was trying to create a new regulatory framework. Our first story dated December 6 categorically mentioned, “It may be noted that the guidelines were published on UGC website a few days back – on December 3. This short window of time to seek feedback is impractical and seen by experts as a move by UGC to hasten the process of adopting new guidelines for management and technical institutions.
