Shillong, Oct 26 : Students of the Institute of Chartered Financial Analysts of India University (ICFAI), Meghalaya on Monday decided to boycott classes and examinations after coming to know that the institution is an autonomous body and “not a Central university as announced earlier”.
“During our admissions we were told that ICFAI is a Central university which is affiliated to ICFAI, Hyderabad but recently we came to know that ICFAI here is just an autonomous university,” a student of the university, Donphang Gallong said.
The university has been witnessing a row of issues for a couple of weeks.
Vice Chancellor of ICFAI Meghalaya Professor YK Bhushan on Monday held a meeting with the agitating students who sought an explanation from him on ICFAI’s status, “non-fulfilment” of assurances on quality and service made by the university, qualification and behaviour of faculties, finalization of new education system, infrastructures and time schedules.
Prof Bhushan admitted that ICFAI Meghalaya is an independent body and that ICFAI, Hyderabad is only promoting and supporting the university here.
“We will take all corrective steps and even identify qualified teachers from outside as demanded by the students,” he said.
