Higher education bill may not improve autonomy of HEIs, treats courses inconsistently: Think tank

Wait 5 sec.

A legislative think tank analysis suggests the Viksit Bharat Shiksha Adhishthan Bill, 2025, may not significantly improve higher education autonomy. The bill proposes a unified regulatory commission, dissolving existing bodies like UGC and AICTE. It inconsistently applies to various professional courses, exempting legal and medical programs. Grounds for removing part-time council members are not specified, raising concerns about delegation.
