Delhi University Clears 12 Govt-Funded Colleges of Financial Misconduct

A Delhi University committee has found no financial irregularities in 12 government-funded colleges and has recommended that these institutions retain their affiliation with the university. The findings were discussed in the 1270th Executive Council meeting. New courses were approved and admission updates were provided.

Delhi University has exonerated 12 government-funded colleges of financial misconduct, allowing them to maintain their affiliation. The university's Executive Council (EC) discussed the committee's report during its 1270th meeting.

The probe, initiated by a letter from Delhi Education Minister Atishi last December, found no unauthorised fund usage among the colleges. The corresponding recommendation for disaffiliation should be withdrawn, according to the committee.

The EC also sanctioned new projects and courses, including an M.Tech. Computer Science programme and a BA (Hons) in Russian. Admission updates reveal that most seats for postgraduate and law courses have been filled.
