Open University Post Graduation

Ramachandran (Querist) 21 August 2009 This query is : Resolved
There are around 2000 Advocates in the court and also in Supreme court who got their Post Graduate degree through open University and studied law and practising as advocates.
if yo go further there may be judges too who might have retired by now!
There are more than 10,000 officers holding these degrees and occupying the seats.

As per Government of Tamil nadu order of Recognition
Letter No 94873/H1/91-1 Education (HI) Department dated 17th Dec 1991 quotes that since the Annamalai University is recognised by the UGC and hence the degrees awarded by the university is automatically recognised by the Government.

Again in its letter No 11698 /R/91-1 dated 29th Feb 1997, the same Education Department confirmed that the Post Graduate degrees awarded by the Annamalai University under open University system is recognized.

Based on this Annamalai University offered various Open University, there were millions of people admitted and appeared for the exam. And most of the bank staffs also got through.

Now my question is when this Government of Tamil Nadu recognized this P.G., how the UGC can disqualify the PG offered under open university is UN valid?
Does the Government and the Annamalai University had any under table understanding?

Now what is the future of these students who wasted two years with money? Now they are on streets.

The supreme court should first analyst the side effects and tell the students a remedy who had completed the PG under open University.

Will the Chief Justice and Education Department come forward?

Now the question If the UGC has passed an order in 1985 that an order of non recognation of PG degree awarded through Open University, why the Tamil nadu Government Passed the orders and simultaniously approved by the Governor of Tamil Nadu?

It took more than 23 years for an order. Why the UGC didn't object the orders signed by the then Governor? Or the Governor was unaware of such an order ? what the Secretary an IAS officer did on the order? As a Chancellor of the Universities is it not the duty of the UGC to keep the office of the governor informed on the policies it corrects and up dates every now and then?

My head is spinning
