Bangalore: The state government, after the Union Government's affidavit on de-recognition of 44 deemed-to-be universities is all set to whip the lash on "un-authorised" educational institutions in the state.

Higher Education Minister Arvind Limbavali told press persons that, "More than 35 colleges including six, functioning with foreign collaboration will shut down in the near future."

The Commissioner of Collegiate Education recently received a government order authorizing to inspect records, registers and documents at these institutes, and conduct detailed inspections.

These institutes found to be operating without the State government's sanction and requisite approval from the University Grants Commission (UGC), All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) or Distant Education Council have received a notification from the government.

A majority of the colleges populating the list includes those located in Bangalore and are also known to be conducting similar courses across the country.

Bangalore ICFAI Institute of Science and Technology, Sikkim Manipal University, Amity Global Business School, TASMAC, Bangalore Institute of Aeronautical Engineering, Indian Business Academy and M.S. Ramaiah School of Advanced Studies are among the "blacklisted" colleges.

"Only three colleges had replied to the government's show-cause notices," the Minister said, and added, "Now it is time for them to face the consequences."

He was non-committal on the fate of students studying in these institutions and said further decisions regarding the students will be taken after detailed inquiry.
