The UGC issued the letter after President M Abdul Hamid came down heavily
on the evening courses in public universities, saying that a section of teachers had made universities business institutions.
The President said, “Different public universities are doing businesses by opening many departments, evening courses, diploma courses and institutes.”
Apart from these regular courses, many students are coming out successfully from such ‘business course’ and a section of teachers are getting cash benefit making the university a business institution.
