Recent activity
- 2022-04-18 legal UGC directed Britannia University to halt new student admissions, citing inadequate teachers, no research, no proper campus, and absence of a Vice-Chancellor, Pro-VC and treasurer. ↗↗
Provenance & notes
Seed established_year=2010 not supported; UGC approval 20 March 2012, established_year set to 2012. First private university in Cumilla. Student count ~2,600, ~165 academic staff per Wikipedia. VC left null: UGC reported no VC/Pro-VC/treasurer through 2022; Wikipedia later lists Surajit Sarbabidya but this could not be cross-confirmed against the official site, so not asserted. The 2022 UGC admission-halt is the most recent dated event found (older than 24 months).
