The government of Uttar Pradesh has initiated a probe into the recognition of courses and admissions across all universities, colleges, and institutions in the state. Divisional Commissioners have been directed to set up Special Investigation Teams (SITs) comprising administrative, police, and education officers to carry out the investigation. Institutions are required to provide affidavits, recognition certificates, and detailed information about their courses. Any cases of illegal admissions or unapproved courses will invite strict action, including mandatory refunds of fees along with interest. This move underscores the state’s commitment to ensuring transparency, accountability, and quality standards in higher education.
