AMITY UNIVERSITY- EXPOSED

By Project Vijay 

 

Using the favours of RTI Act 2005, Officials of Project Vijay have procured information / documents regarding 

Amity University, Noida , U.P. These documents are real shocking and contain serious/confidential information. The aforesaid documents prove that the establishment of Amity University, Lucknow is due to the manipulative collusion of senior officials Centre and State Government. The University is running various programmes unconstitutionally, charging exorbitant fees thereby misguiding the guardians of the students enrolled under such programmes.

Establishment of Amity University 

According to obtained documents, Amity University Noida Uttar Pradesh Act 2005 (UP Act No. 11 of 2005) has been released on 24th March 2005.

According to public notice of UGC dated 15.06.2009 "It is also informed that private universities cannot affiliate an institution / college. They cannot establish off campus centre (s) beyond the territorial jurisdiction of the concerned state. However they can establish off campus centre (s) within the concerned state after their existence of five years and with the prior approval of the UGC. So far, UGC has not approved any off campus centre (s) of any private institution.

Inspite of the aforesaid provision, Amity University is running two off campuses in Viraj Khand, Gomtinagar and in Malhor of District Lucknow.

 

Land Issue of Amity University, Lucknow Campus

 As per rule, before granting recognition to any University it is necessary for the officials of the concerned department to ensure that the land of the proposed institution is registered under its name only.

When the officials of Project Vijay investigated the issue under RTI Act 2005, the Tehsildar of Sadar, Lucknow revealed the fact that the land of functioning off campus of Amity University does not belong to the establishment.

 

 

 

 

 

Misusing of UGC’s Monogram

Although UGC in its open letter dated, 17th March2009 has made it very clear that “no private University or private educational institution can use UGC's monogram in its website”. Unhesitant Amity University is waywardly showcasing the monogram of UGC in its website.

 

 

 

 

UGC has acquainted in their open letter dated 19th May 2009 that they have directed Amity University, Uttar Pradesh not to use its monogram.  

 

 

 

 

 

Misusing of UGC 's name in advertisements

Amity University in its advertisement for admission for session 2009 -10 has printed the monogram of UGC and it was also mentioned that “Amity University is recognised by UGC". While UGC in its letter dated 3rd March 2009 has specified that UGC has not grantedAmity University, Noida, U.P. any letter regarding its recognition. Besides this, according to Central Information Commission’s judgement no.CIC/OK/A/2008/01205/SG/0375 's serial no. 2 - "UGC does not recognise Universities. UGC makes inspection of private Universities for the assessment of infrastructure/ academic facilities available in the private universities”. 

 

 

 

Unconstitutional Distance Education Programmes conducted by Amity University Uttar Pradesh

As it is apparent from the public notice of UGC dated: 15.06.09 “For running programmes in distance mode, the approval of Joint Committee of UGC - AICTE - DEC is required .Distance Education Council is the coordinator of Joint Committee “.

IGNOU, the constitutional body for DEC, has made it apparent in its letter no. 2506 dated: 12.08.2009 that “DEC has not accredited any programmes of Amity University as yet ".  

 

 

 

 

Besides this, also the Engineering and Management courses conducted by Amity University Lucknow Campus, not recognised by AICTE.  

 

 

 

 

These discrepancies stand as evidence themselves. Due to the manipulative collusion of high officials of Higher Education Department Uttar Pradesh, University Grant Commission, and other constitutional bodies like Distance Education Council, AICTE , Architecture Council of India, Bar Council of India with Amity University by providing them silent approval and hiding discrepancies in documents and modifying the facts . Amity University, Uttar Pradesh is able to run its Lucknow campus and Distance Education Programmes illegally as per the public notice & media cuttings. 

 

 

 

 

On the same matter a complaint has been filed by PROJECT VIJAY, to the concerned authorities, for the investigation of this issue.

Now its your decision to opt or discard Amity University while you plan your child's future. But we would like to ask some question to you,

• Do you think it is expected of an educational institution to use false facts to mislead the students
• Do you think such an institute can impart quality education with some moral – values
• Are students of such institute literate or simply educated 

There are many such questions in the hearts of Indian parents who spend their hard-earned money on their children's education.
