UGC- Students' Entitlement Regulation (SER).

The University Grants Commission (UGC) is soon going to bring about a Students' Entitlement Regulation, which will allow a student to know his/ her specific academic rights and entitlements. "The student must have complete knowledge about his rights relating to learning, living environment, physical activities, entertainment, sports facilities. If he feels that some specific right is not being met, he can complain," UGC chairperson Prof Ved Prakash told Once the regulation comes into effect, the student can demand for classes, reference books in library, journals to improve research facilities, adequate kind of accommodation and sports facilities. Besides bringing about the regulation, he said plans were on to create a portal in which a student can post the inadequacies in his campus. "This would help the authorities know about the actual condition of the campus in academic matters." The universities will also organise seminars to help educate the students about their academic entitlements.
