Yes, thats a move in the right direction..otherwise the whole advanced education industry has just been reduced to a huge money making monster..literally robbing people of their hard earned money and compelling students to get under the burden of loan so soon in life. They should be immediately abolished.

Yes it was a right decision but wrongly taken. They should care the future of students first. The deemed universities started with their concern and it was in their knowledge . Why they have not taken timely action on that. If at all they want to abolish these universities they must ensure that the future of the students must not be in dark.Care to be taken in future that no body should play with the future of youth and students.

It goes without saying that these universities solely exist for profit making and they do so at the cost of students's career.The kind of learning they provide is not of much help and is not at par with the better colleges and universities.They just aim at providing degree in the patron course in turn for the money.And many B-Schools who thrive on their name of providing professional degrees like MBA etc charge fat sum of money from students in turn for nothing to give students back.But government should come up with new policies in this field very soon.I welcome banning such universities.

Abolishing the deemed status will allow government to scrutinize the very actions of these universities which have completely diverged from their main agenda and are exercising arbitrariness through a totally flawed mechanism. Removing the deemed status will bring these private entities under the government's check, which will certainly decrease the purview of their exorbitant power that has been exercised by them till now. For instance, the entities, since will be functioning under the 'deep and pervasive' control of the Government, can be questioned in the court of law on the grounds of violation of Fundamental Rights under article 32 of the Constitution of India, which basically are not available against any other entity than the state itself.

Always system form with certain objective and intentions and I am sure it is always for good if implemented properly...allowing deemed universities was one of that...which has increased facilities for education but at the same time...education standard detoriarated.... which we have seen in report from Govt authorized bodies, news papers...and from result world level competition exams.. Infosys had not awarded any engineering stream student for their contribution in this year...Please read my Q&A posting.."WHO IS RESPONSIBLE" Either guideline to run deemed universities has to be reconstituted or closed the same...Govt has taken right move...

Well the name of the university is of utmost importance in one's degree. With the opening of deemed universities the students have faced problems.Though they get their certified degree courses but as these universities are not recognized they have to face the problems later on. So the committees that are going in for deemed universities should make their standards to get it recognized.

Of course it is the right thing to do. Government should have done this much earlier. I personally know many 'family run' deemed institutions. what i found inappropriate more than its business nature was they opted for syllabus of their personal choice and both examinations and evaluation were way too liberal. This move certainly will increase the quality and value of degrees. Many deemed universities only lost their 'deemed' status only. They can affiliate to the universities and follow their syllabus. The present students will have to re-appear exams of the affiliating universities. i have at most sympathy for the students who are affected by this but anything that is derogating education should be dealt with accordingly. It will definitely prove good to our future students

It is absolutely right. At least now the government has woken up. As these private universities and institutions are playing with the education of our younger generation. They are being run on totally commercial lines with scant regard for the law of the land. It is high time that they were reined in. Most of these are either run by ex MLA's or with connections to them. Hardly any of them have gone beyond an undergrad degree, then in that case how can they claim to be Vice chancellors etc. If at all they wanted to profit from it, they should have just invested in the business and then appointed experienced educators and academicians to run the show. But one wonders why the government is not taking any action against the UGC which is also part of its own ministry and who is primarily responsible for mushrooming of these universities. The govt. should put its own house in order before it can point a finger at others.

This is right decision. Deemed universities have found a way to cheat the government and admit any number of students in particular discipline e.g ECE, EEE etc. I see few deemed universities having more than 800 students for ECE in every batch. Originally it was intended to increase number of universities for best quality of education. But our policy makers used that word and converted existing colleges into deemed universities and made money. We know how they secured, yes secured deemed status. It is better if it is abolished. But the question is - will it happen ?

This should happen very earlier. We can't make our country a education handicapped. I agree with points raised by other side. But our country is first. A country will be powerful if it has standard quality education in every field. Government decision to shut down deemed universities is a major step to acquire the quality education. Actually these deemed universities are those one, which are not following certain set of education standards and are making huge money from students.

I think the decision taken by the government is correct.I am agree with manoj sir, that Deemed universities are making money on the name of education, they take high amount of money to take admission in that universities, no matter that how is the student just the main thing is money, and the education system is also not as good as other universities and after providing degree they give a job as a gift by the help of money. And because of this students of other universities face lot of problem in searching job.Sarika madam i think government universities can't be as corrupted as these deemed universites because they have not any external pressur they can do what they want to, so i think this is good decision ,these deemed universities just making croud in the field of education by giving degree to the children of welthy or politically strong or any type of approachable persons....

Govt should not abolish deemed universities, as india's population is increasing, the Students for higher education will increase. so, the way to control this situation is to control the quality standard of these universities to provide better education & Future.

deemed universities could have been started in front of the nose of the government i presume. allowing them to be started and ordering their closure abruptly may not be fair. when the country needs varied educational institutions to meet the demand and may be some deemed universities could be doing a good autonomous job offering quality eduction too and setting the benchmarks. the deemed universities could have been regularised based on certain critrion grading them - while those lacking could be given a fair amount of time say two years to cope up with seeking government recognition in the process. this grading and recognition process will automatically put the deemed universities on a track meeting the standards - those not meeting could be subsequently abolished or derecognised leaving the choice to the citizens and free market forces. yes, some regulatory principles and law could be evolved which would govern unfair practices if any keeping the citizens alert and informed thereby. thus, the deemed universities could have been regulated and upgraded at a fast pace placing some value on their existence in the educational domain meeting the demands - could be given choice of being affiliated with some existing regional universities and upgrading themselves to the standard with the monitoring responsibility on the university providing the needed support in terms of finance and infrastructure or curriculum standards. the act of abolishing seems like allowing slums to develop and later bulldozing them at will as if the government and the municipalities with all their intelligence services not being aware so far and could not have prevented such formations not in the interest of the nations and the citizens, at the sweet will of the government of the day. even a criminal is offered a fair trial and opportunity to defend and reform. hope this sounds as a counterpoint to be reflected upon, regards/kshantaram

Most of the universities run by state and central governments are in dire straits except IIT's, NIT's etc. Lots of deemed universities are giving quality education. The guidelines should be set at a high standard and the inspections should be carried out periodically.

The govt . is partly right in abolishing deemed universities. this is a topic which need a broad discussion and to be handled in a more mature way. rather than abolishing the deemed universities the minstry could have done some stringent measures which can curtail mushrooming deemed universities. I agree partly with both yes & NO. There should be stringent rules to run a deemed university. No institution should be granted even temporary deemed university status untill all requirements to start a university is met. Right from administrative to academic if the rules are not complied the status should not be granted. Only after institution is recognised as a deemed University they should be permitted to take admissions. Including parent campus and off centres. I was working with the international centre of a top ranked deemed university. I cant narrate the pathetic condition of academics going over there. One student told me that after his course he's not sure whether he will be an engineer or a forman. such practices should not be allowed. deemed universities and it's off campus cannot be & should not be profit making centres only. The govt. should keep in mind this is not a factory producing some non living produts. this is a factory that produces the future of the nation. Budding future talents. I do agree with ms sarika and others who are concerened with the fate of the existing students. here also the govt. should be careful abt the future of the students. it's not their fault that they joined these instituitions . The govt. had previously approved these instituitions hence they joined there. if the isntituitions are not maintaining the standard it's the fault of the govt. & the institutitions but not of the students. In such cases the govt. can abrogate/ repudiate/ cancel the recognition of the institution but there should be a rider stating that the existing students can continue their studies but the university is prohibited from taking future admissions. the degree awarded should be considered valid. in such cases there 's a chance that the instituition may run it perfunctorily for the sake of running it since it is not good for them running it without admissions. In that case the govt. should intervene and should make sure that the academics of the existing students are not suffered. Granting permissions to start of campus centres are also should be done carefully and stringently after the insitutions meeting the required standards. Deemed universities are necessary for India for the govt. cannot provide the entire infra structure for higher education. It doesn't mean that anyone and every one can start a Deemed University converyting wedding hall, cinema theatre, some shopping complex etc. The should be stringent rules and there should be an authority like IRDA, TRAI to see that the insitutions are maintaining the standards.

The basic issue is of accepting educational institutions as genuinely 'profit-making institutions'. The government and the Indian public as well need to accept the idea that educational activities should also be accepted as an ethical profitable-making enterprise. If that is done along with sensible regulation, then deemed universities could have continued to contribute. But faulty regulation and corruption by officials of the regulatory authorities in nexus with devious businesspeople led us to a situation where the fine idea of deemed universities was degraded into a laughable one.

Deemed universities help to make up for the insufficient universities or educational institutions, that government alone can't do it alone. Ideally a government's job is to govern the country and to manage only those which are related to run the country. Why education can't be a business, when everything else including places of worship are also allowed to do business? The problem is, government is not able to enforce the required standards for a deemed university. Its not right on government's part to close whatever they fail to control or govern. Even if the government decides to close for the reasons for which we are not privy to, then government should first provide a safe transition of everyone who is dependent on these existing deemed univeristies. Thanks Ms. Sarika for referring me this.
