Mysuru: Even as the University of Mysore (UoM), the century-old University awaits for the appointment of a regular Vice-Chancellor (VC), it is faced with more challenges. The University Grants Commission (UGC) has cautioned the University of action against the continued grant of affiliation to private institutes in the name of outreach centres and for franchising higher education.
The UGC, in a letter to the UoM dated Oct.27, asked the University to immediately withdraw the affiliation and submit an action taken report before Nov.10. If the University does not submit the compliance report, action will be taken, warned the UGC.
