Officials of higher education department said that QCI has quoted an estimated Rs 4 lakh (excluding GST) per university for the audit. Private universities will bear the expenses of travel, stay, boarding and lodging of the assessors during their visit to the universities.
In Haryana, there are 10 state universities, 24 private universities, 97 government-aided private colleges, 171 government colleges, two government colleges of education, 86 self-financing degree colleges and 475 self-financing B.Ed colleges.

Anand Mohan Sharan, Additional Chief Secretary of Higher Education Department, said that show-cause notices were issued to three private universities. “Their replies are being examined by the higher education department, following which action (if required) shall be initiated in the coming few days,” he said.
