[MTC Global] Against UGC stand, HRD ministry writes to CAG for audit of deemed universities

Economic Times report today that Going against the advice and stand taken by the University Grants Commission (UGC), the human resources development ministry has written to the Comptroller and Auditor General asking if it can audit 85 privately run institutions that are deemed to be universities.


The ministry and the UGC are caught in a tussle over the legality of auditing private deemed varsities that receive no government funding. The HRD ministry is now learnt to have taken the matter up itself with the CAG,

citing the provisions in the UGC regulations and seeking to know if it is possible to conduct the audit. Of the 120-odd deemed universities, the Centre fully funds three government-run varsities and partially funds about 20 private ones. About 85 are completely privately run. The CAG usually runs its scrutiny on the finances of those institutions that receive big government funding.
