The University Grants Commission (UGC) has proposed to make it mandatory for all higher educational institutions (HEIs) to disclose all details on their website about their status, officers, prospectus, fee structure and fee refund policy. The institutions must include the photo of the faculty and their contact numbers as well.
The document would be placed in the public domain for feedback, UGC officials said.
According to the new rule, HEIs must provide details of programmes offered, institutional development plans, accreditation and ranking besides academic calendar. Institutions must upload information about MoUs, industry and foreign collaborations; and publications and patents, where applicable.
