The certificates signed by the acting vice-chancellors of 18 private universities have been declared illegal.
But these ‘illegal certificates’ will be valid once those are signed by the President-appointed vice-chancellors, University Grant Commission (UGC) said in a press release on Thursday.
UGC Chairman Professor Abdul Mannan told The New Nation that the certificates have been declared illegal, but the degrees have not been cancelled. As such there is an option to regularise them.
The certificates signed by the President-appointed vice-chancellors and controllers are legal as per the Private University Law-2010, the UGC Chairman said.
