The Rayalaseema University has cancelled its affiliation with 32 degree colleges of the total 101 for the 2022-23 academic year. It has barred the colleges from admitting new students in first year as they could not meet the required standards set by the Andhra Pradesh Council for Higher Education (APSCHE).
“However, the students who are pursuing the second and third years will not be affected by this decision. They can continue their studies in the same colleges,” University Registrar S. Madhusudhan Varma said in a release on Wednesday.
He said that these colleges affiliated to the RU did not have the land, buildings, faculty members, laboratory and library as per the mandatory standards. A team which inspected the colleges had recommended the cancellation of affiliations. However, they colleges can apply for affiliation again for the next academic year after fulfilling the criteria,” said Mr. Madhusudhan Varma.
