New Delhi: In a public notice issued on Thursday, higher education regulator, the University Grants Commission has warned students against taking admission in “self-styled” Bible Open University of India, operating in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh. The institution is offering degree programmes and courses in “gross violation” of the UGC Act 1956.
The UGC Act stipulates that only universities established through central, provincial or state laws and standalone institutions designated as deemed-to-be universities will be allowed to confer degrees upon students. Bible Open University of India does not meet any of these requirements and, therefore, is not authorised to offer degree programmes.
