Controversies

The university was involved in controversy over awarding 8,000 Ph.D. degrees through distance education over the years 2009-2011.[1] The government appointed a committee to investigate which recommended action against the VC.[2] Another controversy quickly followed, as the VC appointed staff a day before retiring.[1]

Another controversy over student admissions in 2010 led to student protests in May 2011, ransacking the administration building.[1]
