In the latest decision, the higher education regulator, University Grants Commission has cancelled engineering degrees awarded by four deemed universities through distance mode. Recently, the Supreme Court of India directed the universities not to offer engineering courses in distance mode. From the academic session 2018-19, the deemed universities can offer distance learning courses in different fields with prior approval apart from engineering. The apex court further ordered a CBI probe into granting retrospective approvals to four of these institutes.
