Pvt. varsity students more privileged?
More than 3.14 lakh students are taking their degrees from the private universities. Most of the public university teachers also teach in the private universities and give those students higher marks. As a result, private university students have an average CGPA of 3.50 to 3.75. On the other hand, the same teachers give less marks to the students of public universities, which result in lower CGPA. It seems that teachers are more concerned about the private university students.
A recent report of TIB has also brought the matter to light. The report says private universities are involved in illegal transaction of money, from taking approval for setting up a university to awarding certificates to students. Ministry of education and UGC must look into the matters for public interest.
