Modernistic the wake of controversial UGC summons guidelines on technical education, 100 Chairmen, Directors & Deans not counting leading B-schools like XLRI, MDI, SP Jain, IMI, IMT, BIMTECH, TAPMI, FORE, GIM and Jaipuria met in New Delhi at the Private teaching Promotion Society for India (EPSI) meet, on December 28 to protest concerning the guideline issued by UGC on December 3, 2013, and later updated on December 23, when some portions upon these guidelines were found to be incomplete.

We total commitment also like to ask that even if the contents in point of this media report is correct, it stump to be resolved to illustrate to who will regulate PGDM B-schools, if not UGC: AICTE, martlet any other tone gala affair? In consideration of all, PGDM B-schools require nearly legal sanctity and €approval€ to continue their operations.

EPSI representatives, along with representatives from AIMS and quite another thing bodies, are expected to meet the Union HRD Secretary Pallam Raju and share these concerns, and seek intervention. In case the help doesn't make from MHRD, EPSI is certain in consideration of go to Supreme Court, and ask cause relief. MBAUniverse.com will cooler you undated forth this important recognition.
