CLARIFICATION

Many institutions enquire, while entertaining the requests of the students of Ravenshaw University (RU) for placement, participation in events, admissions or employment, whether RU has been approved by the UGC under Section 2 (F) and 12 (B) of the UGC Act.

Many are indeed not aware that RU has secured these approvals as early as in July 2007. The relevant notifications are available at the link:

Similarly questions are asked about RU’s memberships in the Association of Indian Universities. Ravenshaw was constituted as a University in November 2006. Its application for membership of AIU was first submitted in August, 2007. At their instant, another application with a bank deposit of Rs 50,000 as membership fee was submitted in May, 2009. The ratification of membership in AIU is now expected any time.

Pending grant of membership, the AIU has made it possible for the students and faculty of RU to participate in any academic or co-curricular activity, and not suffer any prejudice on this account during this period of waiting. The letter, numbered MEET/MEM/2009/194 dated May 14, 2009, received from AIU on this subject is also available.
