The Rajasthan Government has announced the setting up of a regulatory body like the AICTE, BCI and Pharmacy Council of India (PCI) to put a check and control on the working of private universities in the state.
"The step has been taken to put a check on the falling standards of education in private institutes", a Government official said.
Also, now the titles of 'Chancellor' and 'Vice Chancellor' would be changed to 'Chairman' and 'President'.
The Regulatory Authority of academicians will prepare academic guidelines for private universities and regulate their fee structure, entrance procedure and course formulation.
Till now, owners of private universities held the post of Chancellor, whereas in Government Universities the post is held by the Governor. The government has now decided that the newly opened private universities will have 'Chairman' and 'President' instead of 'Chancellor' and 'Vice Chancellor'. However the titles will not change for erstwhile universities.
