Controversy

Religious festival celebrations under Acting vice-chancellor Jairaj Amin sparked widespread protests as students demanded that university remain a place for learning, not religion.[24]

In January 2024 the Enforcement Directorate raided the office of the Vice Chancellor and registrar in connection with a Rs 150 cr recruitment scam in Kolar-Chikkaballapura District Co-operative Milk Producers Union Limited (KOMUL).[25] [26]

At the start of 2024 about 129 teaching posts remained vacant at the university.[27] [28]

In a move to further hide transparency, the university syndicate decided to stop live streaming of meetings.[29]

Due to poor resource management, the University is closing down multiple post graduate courses.[30]
