After Aligarh Muslim University, it is Jamia Millia Islamia which has locked horns with the University Grant Commission.
Asserting its “special status”, Jamia’s academic council, which met two weeks ago, has decided to go against the UGC’s directive to conduct a common entrance exam for professional courses along with other universities.
Jamia has decided to conduct its own entrance test and notified the exam dates. Entrance exams for B.Tech and MBA courses will start from the first week of May.
AMU will conduct its own entrance exams for MCA and MBA courses on March 10 and 12. Among other central universities, Delhi University held the entrance test for the Faculty of Management Studies on Sunday.
Jamia’s spokesperson S M Sajjid said, “The academic council was of the view that UGC’s circular, which made the common entrance exam mandatory for us, was an impingement on our autonomy. Jamia was created by an Act of Parliament that gave us a free hand in formulating our own admission policies and conduct our own exams.”
Sajjid said the academic council’s decision has been conveyed to the UGC.
The UGC is, however, still trying to convince these institutions to fall in line. “We have told them categorically that entrance to professional courses will be through a common test. They have to go by this decision,” UGC secretary Ved Prakash said.
Prakash did not comment on what action the UGC will take if universities like Jamia and AMU go ahead with their own exams.
Resistance to the UGC’s directive has come mostly from Central universities which have alleged that through this order, the former is hitting at their autonomous status. There are 18 Central universities in the country.
Prakash said the UGC was merely following the Supreme Court’s directive which asked for a common entrance exam for professional courses in all universities and institutions.
AMU’s vice-chancellor Nafees Ahmed said the university had started the admission pro-cess for technical courses much before the university received the UGC order.
