UGC grants 62 institutions with high standards full autonomy
The University Grants Commission has granted full autonomy to 62 higher educational institutions, including 5 central and 21 state universities, which maintained "high standards". The institutions can now decide their admission procedures, syllabus, and fee. This is in line with PM Narendra Modi's vision of "liberalised regulatory regime", HRD Minister Prakash Javadekar said.
