TN varsity challenges UGC order saying no to admission

Hindustan Times  

The Annamalai University in Tamil Nadu has moved the Madras High Court challenging an order of the University grants Commission, which restrained it from carrying out admissions. TN varsity challenges UGC order saying no to admission The writ petition from the Chidambaram-based institution in the state sought to quash a public notice dated March 25 and 30 this year of the UGC, which stated Annamalai University should not admit any students in any programme, on the ground that it had not obtained the recognition from the UGC from the 2014-15 academic year. The writ petition prayed for a direction to the UGC to issue recognition of open and distance learning programmes for the current academic year 2022-23. The university had applied for recognition every year and UGC maintained a status-quo knowing very well that an interim order passed on a writ appeal in 2015 stating that “all admissions made by the University in respect of Distance Education Program for the centres situated outside the territorial jurisdiction, shall be subject to final decision of the pending Appeal”. In view of the interim order, the petitioner university applied for recognition for every year and the respondents neither granted approval nor rejected.
