Why Yenepoya University in Mangalore is derecognized.
It is one of the Prestigiuos University in India having Medical & Dental courses.
It is best University I have seen in India under Deemed Universities.
This is all Governments play to de fame some people just because of MONEY.

Where these people had gone when they had given permission to these universities? These all money making policies...just politicians need money. But surprise to see that noone comments abour congress govt. if this would have done state goverment so many would have commented against BJP because they love to comment & this is the only thing they can do.

Thank you Mr. S. M. Navaz Kukkikatte and Mr. Muhammed Ali for your compliments about my comments. Mr. Patrick Dsouza is quite disappointed due to the fact I am not wholeheartedly marching with the crowd. Please read my comment a couple of times and make your conclusion. Price of any item, including the cost of education is based upon the basic law of " demand and supply" If less applicants are for a course of study in certain college, the capitation fee will go down, and vice versa. Everybody likes to send their children to the finest university, paying the lowest fee, how it can be possible? I am for free college education for all eligible students, how that dream can be fulfilled?

People with money play with money to make more money, and some people saw the wide opportunity to make money through starting private universities. When our children can't get admitted to a government university based on merit, we take the next step of getting them admitted to private college. The colleges are running for profit, and they get the money they demand, and we don't like that part. In the U.S., some of the top Ivy League universities like Yale and Harward are private but their fees will be thousands of dollars higher than public universities, and admission requirements are very tough. They won't accept capitatin fees, but take the money through higher fees.

Mr. Tufail, then why did all your cousings preferred to seek admission in St. Aloysius by paying donation ? You could have gone to other colleges where you do not have to pay donation.Is it because no colleges entertained them for their performance or Aloysius college forced them to take admission ? If the grapes are sour, you are free not to eat them. If you eat them voluntarily, please do not complain. It is your mistake.

Why only some private deemed Universities are derecognised?. Some of the other Universities(state managed) in our country are also mismanaged and examinations are conducted shabbily.As a result students are graduated out with not even having basic knowledge.Let the central Govt. derecognise such Universities also.

Government should separate out the for profit institutions and brand them as corporations whose profits are taxed. There are two kinds of educational institutions either the for profit corporations or not for profit educational institutions. It is high time the Govt separated out these two so the wolves do not masquerade as sheep.

I can understand why Mr. Tufail pointed out that St Aloysius College asks donation. By his saying "Truth Picks" I can understand Mr. Tufail and his cousins educational proficiency. Truly these illiterates must have approached a "Dalal" to get admission. Not only Truly Truth pricks but hurts as well.

Education in todays times has become big business around the world. Money mking has been a driving force. It was a mistake by the Indian government to grant deemed status to certain universities in the first place. Whereever you go Australia, USA, UK, Canada. NZ and many more places the coffers are being filled making education a big business. Indian apetite for higher education, perhaps highest in the world and educational bodies are trying to capture the market. "If you can't come here to us we will ome to you" seem to be the delevery of education as many more so called foreign educational bodies are trying to be penetrating into India such as Oxford and other foreign affilations to attract students.

Perhaps our government is paying the attention to this scenario as well. Indian education system is extremly good and perhaps cheaper despite donations being given. Donations must be gotten rid off. It is high time the government expands universities to meet the growing demand by maintaining the quality.

Donation or so called bribe scheme to get admission to MEDICAL & ENGINEERING college to be stopped by Government. If you pay 25 lakhs a rich young lad even less tahn 60% marks get seats in Mangalore Medical college. Same time a merit student , hard working and sincerily working hard never gets into Medicine enven getting more than 80% marks will not get seat due to management quota ( sell out quota ) What will be the quality of Doctor if he by chance get MBBS degree with Donation / capitation fee payed with less than 60 % marks ? Minority or majority private colleges university which are practicing making maoney in Education should be stopped by Strict government rules. Right now GOVERNMENT is doing right thing. We have to improve our higher education standard to get employment for the right candidate . The quality of Engineer in private colleges are really a great concern as no Practical / hand on Training during Sudies in most of Private college.

I have been reading a lot written about the above said Deemed Universities,which I see only Mr.Devan Sequira and Mr.A.S.Mathew has gone deep in to the subject and written in depth studied and serious comments.Most of the others shoot the comment on regular basis,based on the general perception sailing in the society.Educational Institutions and their quality of education is a complex issue in Karnataka .Generlising all of them in same category is a bad taste.The great educational institutions like St.Alloysius also put in bad light by a reader and it is very unfortunate that he tried to damage the reputation of this Prestigious institution. Coming back to Yenopoya University , eventhough it is family run Institution,is managed by highly professional Facualty and Adminstrative staff and one of the best managed institution as far as I know.I believe that the quality of education is not determined by high rise buildings or its tution fees.Managements of private educational institutions argue that financial assistance is linked to upkeeping the standard and improving the quality and standard of education . After all these institutions are by product of- DEMAND AND SUPPLY, and as long as demand will be their,until govt.is in a position to provide the needed kind of educational set up.So it is impractical that blaming and trying to undermine the role of Private Educational Institutions,rather it should be encouraged and made within the loose control of Concerned.

We have central universities and also state universities. Then where was the need for deemed universities? One can understand giving deemed university status to institutions like Indian Institute of Science and NIMHANS where lot of research work is going on. But what was done was giving this status to all and sundry, totalling to 126. Now withdraw the status totally. In the process students are made scapegoats.

A S Mathew, USA - The information you have is terribly misplaced. Read the views of the readers which say it all. With lax Govt. controls and corrupt officials, these colleges have paid their way to a university status. What more, the Director of AICTE (top boss) was caught taking bribe to give licence to an engineering college in Andhra Pradesh for increasing seat intakes.Education unlike in USA is a joke.

Even the very news itself will shake the deemed Universities. They have invested million of Rs. for creating these institutions, and the government will have to give a specific timeframe for them to rectify the shortcomings. In Kerala, the Achuthanandan ministry demolished a lot of private properties because they were in government property. By destroying them, what kind of benifit it has created? Give orders to the deemed universities to fix the problem in three years or five years: and if they failed to correct it, then other necessary steps will have to be taken. If the students are getting an inferior education at these private universities, that has to be addresssed. If India is trying to control the educational system by themselves exclusively, then thousands of students can't get a quality education. In all the democractic counties, universities are being operated by private organizations or individuals, but they will have to operate under the accrediting agencies. Some of the private universities are keeping the highest standard than any other government or semi-government run universities. Experimenting government authority with the private institutions, for the sake of playing authority, can jeopardize our children's future.

Opening professional colleges has become big business rather than the intent. Minimum capital the returns are maximum . Just take a ownership statistics of these colleges/universities. The revelations will tell you all. It was a national shame under the regime of Arjun Singh the then Minister to introduce the concept that made higher education a laughing stock. I hope the Govt gets down to go deeper into the issues and file criminal complaint against the "babus" involved and the College owners.

A smart move by Union Government of India. But the Government should have stringent Law in place to punish the corrupt colleges.So far nothing much has been done against the colleges who receive donations and funds and thus deny the right of education to deserving students who are finacially poor.It is disgrace to India that education being sold as any other commodities in the market place. Proper action should be taken against the law breakers. It is the birth right of every Inian citizen to to be literate and colleges cannot be obstacles for this.Therefore colleges must deliver justice in education and shouldnot be a finacial institution.

The concept of deemed universities does not suit our Society where more than academics , money power prevails. The deemed universites in many were really " doomed universisites". Let us open ourselves to the reality of day light robbery some of the so called deemed universities doing by collecting huge sums. Compare that with the lavish lifestyles of the people running it. Government does not give them money- does it become a valid reason to loot in the nmae of education-this is what one should think. Let us stop this nusance called " doomed universities"

I think we need to be clear about many issues before we shoot our thoughts. First, colleges, schools, universities are not built on fresh air. A lot of money is required to construct, huge loans have to be repaid, maintenance costs, after construction, there are other associated costs involved. A good research is required so as to ascertain a budget of how much it actually costs. Secondly, I am sure when govt de-rocognized these universities they have taken into consideration all aspects like what will happen to the lakhs of students who are studying? There also seems to be confusion between what is capitation fees, donations, tuition fees etc. What we must remember is that private schools, private institutions are unaided institutes. The govt does not give all of them aid like govt universities which are almost fully aided. Crores of rupees go into the IIMs, IITs etc from the govt. Yet, I do not see that their fees are any less. What also is being overlooked is the fact that most of these universities have limited intake of students. They do not cater to a large pool of students. They have a cap on intakes. What happens to the rest of the prospective students? Where are they going to study? Do they opt for Open university and sit under trees and study? So please please when you talk about derecognizing, please look at the larger picture of how it effects the whole society as a whole. Thank You.

All deemed universities to be nationalised and admission in to these institutions must be done purely one merit basis and a small percentage of reservations to be given to economically backward classes based on the income and not based on caste/tribe/religion. Now a days these so called private eudcational institutions are looting and in the business of money making. Almost all private colleges and universties are run by big wig politicians or heads of religious institutions. There is no accountability. Education in India in general and Karnataka in particular has become business. You pay high and you score high. Ethics and morale has been sacrificed. In Maharashtra, the best govt run colleges are charging a fee of Rs 300/- per annum to the students for graduation. But in Karnataka it runs into thousands and lakhs. This is high time for us to reform education system.

The deemed universities reduced the value and standard of universities as well as the education valuees also.because everywhere and every institutions are the universities and destrbuting the degrees.so in this regard government control over thease universities is appriciated but totally derecognising means public should aware about the assumption of Mr Raja Reddy's that people should preview in this regard that the government decieson because of any money or political milage from the forign counries.but controling these institutions very nececsary for collecting donations and illeagal funds.
