Universities under no obligation to follow Common Syllabus: Governor
Tamil Nadu Governor R.N. Ravi on Monday wrote to Vice-Chancellors of State Universities advising them that they were under no obligation to follow the Common Syllabus designed by the Tamil Nadu State Council for Higher Education. In the letter also marked to the president, Association of Management of Private Colleges, and the Principal Secretary to the Government, Higher Education Department, Mr. Ravi said that a number of educationists, including Vice-Chancellors of universities, principals of colleges and managements of autonomous colleges, had brought to his attention their deep concerns over the Higher Education department of the State Government aggressively pushing all the Arts & Science colleges to adopt the Common Syllabus. Also, the common syllabus would drive them out of the National Institutional Ranking Framework which promoted healthy competitions towards better performance and determined their All India rankings. You are free to have syllabi as designed by the competent body of your institutions and are under no obligation to follow the Common Syllabus designed by the Tamil Nadu State Council for Higher Education,” the Governor said.
