7 Pune institutes drop 'university' tag from their names
In order to safeguard their 'deemed-to-be' university status, seven Pune institutes have agreed to drop the 'university' tag from their names, as per the directive issued by the University Grants Commission. The universities were asked to submit proposals suggesting new names. As per Supreme Court's order, use of word 'university' by deemed-to-be universities is in violation of the UGC Act.
