UGC removes Sangai International University Manipur from the list of recognized Higher Education Institutions

The University Grants Commission (UGC) has released an advisory warning prospective students and parents against enrolling in any programs at Sangai International University, Churachandpur, Manipur. This advisory comes after the university was removed from the UGC's list of recognized institutions.

In an official statement, the UGC declared, "Sangai International University, Churachandpur, Manipur has been delisted from the UGC under Section 2(f) of the UGC Act, 1956. Consequently, the university is now barred from offering any UGC-recognized undergraduate, postgraduate, and PhD degrees."

The notification clarified that Sangai International University was initially established by the Government of Manipur as a State Private University and was added to the UGC’s list in June 2015. However, despite multiple requests, the university failed to provide the necessary information for UGC inspections.

"Due to the university’s non-compliance, a show-cause notice was issued on December 19, 2023, giving the institution a chance to justify its continued inclusion on the UGC list," the notification detailed. The UGC also forwarded this notice to the Department of Higher Education, Government of Manipur, seeking immediate action and feedback.

To date, the UGC has not received any response from either the university or the Government of Manipur, resulting in the final decision to delist Sangai International University from its list of recognized universities.
