She also informed that government has so far granted ‘deemed’ university status to 128 institutions, including 62 in the last five years, and said all proposals on deemed universities would be on hold until the review is completed.

Institutions which have UGC approval are Manipal Academy of Higher Education, Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Vinayak Mission’s Research Foundation, Birla Institute of Technology and Science and Sri Ramachandra Medical College and Research Institute. (ANI)
