The ‘illegally’ admitted students of the Guru Nanak University and Sreenidhi University into engineering and other academic programmes will be accommodated into other private universities and private colleges but the challenges are many before the government.
More than 3,000 students’ future is in a dilemma with both institutions unable to conduct the exams despite conducting classes as the government had not accorded them permission to admit students. Both the institutions went ahead with admissions without any official order though the Assembly passed a bill recognising them as private universities.
The bill was passed in the Assembly on Sept 13, 2022, but the Governor, Tamilisai Soundararajan has not yet given her consent raising some queries on the process of permission and also the facilities. The queries were sent for clarification and the government also submitted its compliance report, a senior official revealed. The delay has put a question on the future of about 3,000 students and their academic year likely to go waste.
