The Review Committee constituted by the Central Government has placed 44 Deemed to be Universities in category-III which, neither on past performance nor on the promise for future, had the attributes to retain their status as Deemed-to-be-Universities.

The Committee was assigned to look into the functioning of the existing Deemed to be Universities. The matter is presently sub-judice as the Supreme Court has directed Government to maintain status-quo vis-à-vis the 44 institutions found unfit to continue as institutions Deemed to be Universities.

The Union Minister of State for Human Resource, Dr. D. Purandeswari informed that a Task Force was constituted with the same members as that of the Review Committee. The Task Force has recommended a seven point action plan to ensure that students studying in these institutions are not put to any unavoidable inconvenience.
