Forty-nine private aided colleges under the Mahatma Gandhi University were yet to appoint Principals as per the regulations prescribed by the University Grants Commission (UGC) and the statutes of the varsity. Only 17 of the 66 private aided colleges have appointed Principals as per the norms. The requests for approving the appointment of Principals in five colleges were pending before the Syndicate. The applications submitted by four managements were under process, according to the official estimates. The inordinate delay in appointing Principals as per the UGC norms and statues had resulted in an order issued by the varsity authorities on May 8 asking the erring managements to send the promotion orders of its teachers with an undertaking by the college manager that a Principal will be appointed as per the prescribed norms within three months.
