Though the university had applied ultimate yr, it was once no longer accorded approval.

In another conversation, the UGC mentioned the degrees acquired via distance studying had been on a par with the ones acquired via a formal path. But it mentioned institutions cannot run distance studying courses in fields such as engineering, drugs, nursing, pharmacy, structure and physiotherapy.
“We will convene a meeting and decide at the courses that may be introduced via distance studying,” the registrar mentioned.
