The Assembly passed a bill to amend Tamil Nadu Private Universities Act, 2019, in order to include eight private universities into the Schedule of the Act.
These eight universities were not fully aligned with the UGC Act and Regulations.
Though the State government had earlier notified these eight private universities through notifications, the UGC said a university could be established either by the Act of the Parliament or by the Act of the State Legislature.
Another Bill tabled to amend relevant rules that disqualified deaf-mute and those with leprosy from holding positions of authority in the University of Madras.
