Summary:
Agra: A four-member panel formed by the UGC has recommended the names of 19 more educational institutions, including Aligarh Muslim University (AMU), for the status of Institutes of Eminence (IoE). The expert panel was originally asked to select 20 institutes, 10 from the public sector and 10 private institutes. These top class institutes can also fix and charge fee from foreign students without restriction. The Empowered Expert Committee (EEC) was formed early this year to find 20 institutes in the country which will be accorded the high-value statues. The IoE project was launched by the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) in September 2017 for selecting and creating world-class universities in the country.So far, six institutes have been given the IoE tag..
