Kuvempu University Registrar flags NCTE recognition of Sagar Gangothi College
Kuvempu University has warned students that the Sagar Gangothri College of Education lacks necessary NCTE recognition and university affiliation for recent academic years. The university clarified that degrees from this institution may hold no value, leaving enrollment decisions to the students.
Why it matters
This highlights a significant regulatory and legal dispute in the education sector that directly impacts the validity of student credentials and future career prospects.
Stating that the Sagar Gangothri College of Education at Ullur in Sagar taluk has not held the recognition of the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) since 2023-24, Kuvempu University has said it is left to the discretion of students whether to join the college for the BEd course.
In a press release issued on Thursday, R. Thimmarayappa, Registrar (Evaluation) of Kuvempu University, said the college could not obtain affiliation with Kuvempu University for 2023-24 as it failed to submit its application within the stipulated time. The following year, it could not secure affiliation as it lacked NCTE recognition. Similarly, in the 2025-26 and 2026-27 academic years, the college did not take part in the affiliation process by applying through the UUCMS portal.
