Following an order of the High Court of Karnataka, Bangalore University has decided to appoint syndicate members to the Local Inquiry Committee (LIC).
LICs play an important role in giving affiliation to new degree colleges, autonomy to institutions of higher education, and renewal of affiliation to existing colleges.
Earlier, syndicates constituted the LICs with syndicate members, academic council members, education experts and others. This committee would visit degree colleges, verify compliance with all University Grant Commission (UGC) norms, infrastructure requirements, and other facilities before reporting to the syndicate.
