Concept of deemed universities to be abolished

New Delhi: The concept of deemed universities will be abolished in India, Human Resource Development (HRD) Minister Kapil Sibal said Tuesday, a day after the government moved an affidavit in the Supreme Court seeking de-recognition of 44 such institutions, including Bangalore's Christ College and Jain University.

"It is a policy decision that all the deemed universities will finally go," Sibal said at the 10th Editor's Conference on social sector issues here. Sibal's comments come a day after the central government filed an affidavit in the Supreme Court stating that the recognition of 44 deemed universities must be taken away.
