The University Grants Commission (UGC) has passed new regulations related to technical education and distance education.
At a meeting of the commission, as per the newly passed regulations, technical colleges will now be regulated by the Universities.
According to the new regulation, the universities have been empowered to grant recognition and approval to the colleges that offer engineering programs leading to an award of a degree.
As per the sources, before granting the approval, the universities need to develop their own mechanism for screening of proposal and inspection of Institution. The sources, however, added that the institutes that are offering a diploma in management programs will continue to be regulated as per the existing practices.
Also the regulation for distance education has been approved. As per this regulation, the universities that offer distance education programs will have to seek approval of UGC for programs leading to the award of a degree.
However, stand-alone institutions will most probably not be covered by the regulation.
About University Grants Commission (UGC):
