When a reputed institution like NMIMS is taken head-on by a national regulator (UGC), it cannot but be noticed. UGC sent a strong message that it will not tolerate violations of its regulations on ODL education but also reminded students that they should carefully research distance learning or online courses before enrolling. It would have been more credible if this was done through a transparent process that assured that UGC was acting on similar indiscretions by other universities as well.
