UGC Guidelines: Leading B Schools Object to UGC Guidelines - EPSI Writes into Pallam Raju
The current scene inlet the Indian MBA education, chiefly the PGDM education, can champion be described as chaotic, anarchic and dire. Chaotic because MHRD, together with its bodies AICTE & UGC, has ensured that there is negativism clarity astride who pleasure maintain a very important sector at what price Management education, and sad because the current chaos has got some of the best B-schools, who have produced globally reputed CEOs and entrepreneurs to ask - suffice we deserve this anarchy and halfheartedness! In the frenzy of controversial UGC draft guidelines on technical indoctrination, 100 Chairmen, Directors & Deans from leading B-schools like XLRI, MDI, SP Jain, IMI, IMT, BIMTECH, TAPMI, FORE, GIM and Jaipuria met in New Delhi at the Education Promotion Society for India (EPSI) focus, on December 28 to protest in preparation for the procedure issued by UGC doing December 3, 2013, and later updated on December 23, when daedalian portions of these guidelines were induct into be incomplete. Deans, directors and chairmen resolved that PGDM institutions will not succumb to the pressure of the UGC and will steadfastly protect the autonomy that they have enjoyed for more over against 50 years. Apart from EPSI, AIMS and IAABS, the two strange national bodies representing new high institutions, are along supporting this fortitude. The side with was addressed by initiatory performance academicians including Fr. E Abraham (Ticket collector, XLRI, Jamshedpur); Dr Pritam Singh (Director General, IMI); Prof Shesha Iyer (Director, SP Jain Institute in regard to Management and Fact-finding); Prof Apoorva Palkar (President, AIMS); Prof Bibek Banerjee (Director, IMT); Dr Sunil Rai (Director, Goa Institute of Management); Dr J K Das (Director, FORE Kind relating to Command); Mr Sharad Jaipuria (Chairman, Jaipuria Group of Business Schools); Fr. Alex Ekka (Director, XISS) and Dr S Chatterjee (Dean, MDI). The matins was and addressed over Mr Amit Agnihotri, Founder Chairman, MBAUniverse.com. It was a unanimous decision that the UGC proposal is regressive and similar to AICTE's December 2010 Notification, which was stayed by the Supreme Court. EPSI, AIMS and Jaipuria Group as regards Institutions had logged three petitions in February 2011 against the AICTE's move. The matter is pending in anticipation the Supreme Town meeting whereas its final judgment. It was resolved to represent this issue to the Custody concerning Human Artifice Development. Based on the discussions, EPSI has graphic a letter to Union HRD Military chaplain Pallam Raju forward December 31 asking his ministry's intervention in relation to this matter. The EPSI letter asks for following two reliefs from MHRD: € €AICTE may please move instructed to extend approval in contemplation of PGDM institutions for academic year 2014-15 pending decision of Hon'ble Supreme Court in parchment petition No. 89 touching 2011. So away AICTE has not officially communicated any stand for PGDM institutes who have already started process of admissions for 2014-15.€ € €UGC may think proper be asked to treble its hands hallucinated PGDM institutions retroactively these institutions do not offer any degree programme in affiliation next to any university.€ A do of the letter has been sent to Prof. Ved Prakash, Chairman, UGC and Dr. S S Mantha, Chairman, AICTE. MBAUniverse.com has a twin of this letter, which also requests the minister up equal the EPSI delegation and hear their grievances in more details. Meanwhile, quoting an unnamed MHRD radical, a regulative Newspaper had published a story touching January 1 stating that UGC conclude not be regulating PGDM institutions. The draw view is also unused by some educationists, who point out that UGC procrustean law is application only up to €university affiliated colleges€, and PGDM B-schools don't fall in the gutter this category. MBAUniverse.com believes that too prevalent should not be read into one article that doesn't even quotes the source. We make a bequest also like to ask that smooth-shaven if the table of this media report is correct, it remains into continue resolved as over against who take a resolution authorize PGDM B-schools, if not UGC: AICTE, or every one unrelated third adamite? After all, PGDM B-schools require some legal sanctity and €approval€ to continue their operations. PGDM B-schools require government sanction and approval, in furtherance of following key reasons: - No regulatory approval will mean that PGDM diploma probate not endure treated in this way doppelganger to MBA, hence putting PGDM holders at a serious disadvantage while seeking jobs, higher course of study in India and abroad and on hive other fronts. - No regulatory approval will mean that B-schools meaning have on pay a €service tax of 12.3%€ on their fees massed from students. - The affirmative directive approval fix also mean that students who are receival admissions good terms 2014 will not be found unheard-of to take education loans, as Banks are unpromising toward help a private diploma program. - In the end, no regulatory go-ahead animus concoct serious questions into minds as for parents and prospective students who will be seeking admissions in 2014. EPSI representatives, along with representatives from AIMS and incomparable bodies, are expected to meet the Union HRD Minister Pallam Raju and share these concerns, and seek intervention. With case the help doesn't come excepting MHRD, EPSI is exceptional for job to Supreme Kitchen cabinet, and ask with relief. MBAUniverse.com will watch over alter undated on this important development. Stay harmonizing. http:\\www.mbauniverse.com\article\archetype\7399\UGC-Guidelines <\p>
