UGC Notice to IITs, IIMs: The University Grants Commission (UGC) has issued a notice to 89 institutions across the country, including four Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), three Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs), and Aligarh Muslim University (AMU), for failing to comply with anti-ragging regulations.
As per the UGC Regulations on Ragging, 2009, every institution affiliated with UGC is required to submit Compliance Undertaking and Anti-Ragging undertakings from students.
According to the notice, “It has come to the attention of UGC that these institutions have not submitted the mandatory Anti-Ragging undertakings from students and the compliance undertakings from institutions, despite repeated advisories, follow-up calls from the Anti-Ragging Helpline, and direct interventions by the Anti-Ragging Monitoring Agency.”
“Compliance with the UGC Regulation on Ragging, 2009 is mandatory for all Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). Non-compliance not only breaches UGC guidelines but also endangers student safety, especially amid rising concerns regarding ragging-related distress and hostile campus environments,” the notice stated.
