Bharathidasan University Faces Criticism Over NAAC Accreditation Lapse
Imagine a school getting a special stamp of approval called NAAC, which helps them get money and shows they're doing a good job.
Bharathidasan University's stamp expired in March 2024, but they haven't gotten a new one yet, which worries teachers.
The teachers' union is upset because the university didn't renew the stamp, even though other universities have done it before.
The university says they are working on it, but it could affect the school's programs and funding.
It's like the school is taking longer than usual to get its report card updated.
Bharathidasan University's (BDU) NAAC accreditation expired in March 2024.
The Tamil Nadu Government Collegiate Teachers’ Association (TNGCTA) criticized the university.
The university obtained an A grade with a 3.32 CGPA in 2019, valid for five years.
The absence of accreditation could affect the Centre for Distance and Online Education.
The university is in the process of applying for re-accreditation, with submission expected by the end of June.
