NAAC wades into hot water over conflict of interest during RU visit
Jaipur: A recent assessment visit by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) to the University of Rajasthan (RU) has come under scrutiny following allegations of conflict of interest involving the team's chairperson. Documents reveal that Prof Nageshwar Rao, who led the NAAC evaluation team during their June 3-5 visit, served on the advisory council of RA Podar Institute of Management, an RU-affiliated institution, from Jan 18, 2021, until Feb 14 this year. This appointment appears to violate NAAC's ethical guidelines, which mandate that team members should have no institutional associations within the previous three years. The controversy has prompted senior academics to seek intervention from the union education minister, demanding a fresh evaluation of the university. "Such a case of conflict of interest is a blatant violation and disregard of protocol and a breach of public trust on NAAC," said a senior academician from Rajasthan, speaking anonymously. Adding to the concerns, the NAAC team's visit was already controversial due to irregularities observed during departmental presentations, where retired faculty members, rather than permanent staff, were found making presentations to the evaluation team. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Top 5 Wealth Management Firms in The United States SmartAsset Learn More Undo Despite multiple attempts by TOI to reach out, both Prof Nageshwar Rao and RU Vice-Chancellor Alpana Kateja remained unavailable for comments.

2 RAS aspirants on hunger strike at RU shifted to SMS Hospital
1 2 Jaipur: The health condition of two girls on hunger strike at Rajasthan University (RU), demanding the postponment of RAS Mains exams, deteriorated and they were rushed to SMS Hospital Sunday. The RAS Mains aspirants were in protest at RU since Wednesday night, with at least six students on an indefinite hunger strike. However, due to the heat, the health of two girls deteriorated, with one of them fainting, and they were rushed to the hospital for medical assistance. "The peaceful hunger strike demanding postponement of the date of the RAS Main Exam 2024 has now turned into a serious health crisis. The candidates repeatedly appealed to chief minister and ministers to come to the protest site, talk, and end the agitation by taking a positive decision. But no concrete response has been received so far," said one of the aspirants. The RAS Mains 2024 exam is scheduled to take place on June 17-18, but aspirants pointed out that the interviews for RAS 2023 are currently in progress, with the results pending announcement. Candidates demanded that the Mains exam should be conducted after the interview results for the previous recruitment process are announced. "In the scorching 40–42-degree temperature, the students have been on hunger strike for over the past 60 hours without eating or drinking anything. The condition is continuously deteriorating. Now the question arises that if the life of any student is in danger, who will take responsibility for it?" said Deepak Kaushik, one of the protesters.
