Controversies

In 2010, the Government of India decided to derecognise 44 universities including JIIT. 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 and is now NAAC accredited. JIIT received approval by AICTE in 2018.
