Controversies

In 2010, the Government of India decided to derecognise 44 universities including JIIT.{{cite web|url=http://educationobserver.com/institute_news/index.php/44-universities-lost-deemed-status-list-of-de-recognised-deemed-universities.htm |title=List of proposed derecognised deemed universities |publisher=educationobserver.com |access-date=2012-01-01}} However, this matter is still pending. In its recent judgement the Supreme Court of India directed the University Grants Commission to conduct a fresh physical verification of infrastructure and faculty strength of deemed universities, which were black-listed by the Tandon Committee. However, in early 2017, JIIT regained its deemed university status. JIIT received approval by AICTE in 2018.{{cite web |url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/hteducation/educationnews/sc-to-decide-fate-of-41-blacklisted-deemed-universities-today/article1-1268566.aspx |title=SC to decide fate of 41 blacklisted deemed universities today - Hindustan Times |access-date=2014-10-11 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141009032721/http://www.hindustantimes.com/hteducation/educationnews/sc-to-decide-fate-of-41-blacklisted-deemed-universities-today/article1-1268566.aspx |archive-date=9 October 2014}} SC to decide fate of 41 blacklisted deemed universities today[https://web.archive.org/web/20140925060843/http://www.telegraphindia.com/1140923/jsp/nation/story_18863271.jsp#.VDlyn_mSx8E] UGC tags 8 deemed varsities 'unworthy'
