Minimum mandatory disclosure for Universities /HEI's to be uploaded at their respective website

“Of late different stakeholders in Higher Education System like prospective students, parents, research scholars, govt. officials, alumni and public at large desire to seek certain basic information's from the websites of different Universities/HEI’s. We have found that the websites of several universities lack not only in providing basic minimum information related to their university but also at many a times their websites are not functional and updated. This causes lot of inconveniences and uncertainty to the stakeholders.

At this defining moment when we are celebrating third year of National Education Policy 2020 it would be prudent to desire from the Universities to provide basic minimum information and updated content on their website. We have prepared a check list of these information to be provided by the universities on their websites”. M Jagadesh Kumar, Chairman, UGC.

The following document gives you details on what information needs to be disclosed on the websites of the institutions.
