RGPV Denies Affiliation Renewal to 15 MBA Colleges Under DAVV's Wings

New Delhi: Rajiv Gandhi Proudyogiki Vishwavidyalaya (RGPV) has rejected applications for affiliation to 15 MBA colleges under the jurisdiction of Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya (DAVV). Earlier, these colleges had moved from DAVV to RGPV as the affiliation fee of the latter was lesser than that of the former's.

DAVV had objected to RGPV's move last year as the latter continued to grant affiliation to 15 MBA colleges under the former's jurisdiction since 2021.DAVV had written a letter to the RGPV expressing its discontentment over granting of affiliation to b-schools from Indore but the latter did not stop and accepted applications for affiliation from colleges wishing to go under its wings.

To this, the DAVV approached the Department of Higher Education (DHE) seeking directions to the RGPV and the colleges over jurisdiction matters. The conflict even reached the coordination committee - the apex body for higher education in the state.

The university officials had said that DHE agreed with their argument and it's likely to issue guidelines over the university's jurisdiction soon. Director of the college development council at DAVV, Dr Rajeev Dixit said that RGPV's stand over the matter was wrong as it was going to create disruption in the affiliation system. 'We tried but RGPV did not pay heed to our request. Now, DHE is learnt to have asked RGPV not to give affiliation to MBA institutes which are under the jurisdictions of other universities,' he said.

The b-schools, whose applications have been turned down by the RGPV, have stated that they would move to court over the matter. 'We have taken renewal of recognition from All Indian Council for Technical Education (AICTE) mentioning RGPV as the affiliating university. The deadline for getting the name of the university changed in AICTE records has passed long back. The RGPV can't deny affiliation at this juncture. We are going to move court if affiliation is not granted by RGPV to us for session 2024-25,' said Dr Narendra Dhaka, president, Devi Ahilya Private Education College Directors Association.
