Karnataka Directs Private Universities to Submit Audit and Attendance Records
Karnataka's Higher Education Department has directed all private universities to submit audit reports, student attendance, and other administrative details from the past five years, following a Supreme Court order. While some universities complied, others questioned the feasibility and necessity of providing attendance data for thousands of students. The government has appointed an auditor and legal adviser to review the submissions, and the Chief Secretary must file an affidavit with the Supreme Court based on the collected information.
