Sangai International University (SIU) is an unrecognized private university in the Churachandpur district of Manipur, India.[1]
It is the first private university in the state and previously affiliated to UGC.[2] It is a unique Public Private Partnership (PPP) model between the State of Manipur and Sangai International University, the first of its kind in the country.
It claims to be devoted to excellence in teaching, learning, research and developing leaders in many disciplines who make a difference globally.[3]
Sangai International University (SIU) was established in Manipur State by Act No. 6 of 2015 and was notified under the list of Private Universities maintained by the University Grants Commission (UGC), New Delhi.
However, in a notice issued on May 15, 2024, the UGC delisted the University and stated that the university is not allowed to provide UGC-approved undergraduate, postgraduate, or PhD degrees to students. In the notice, the UGC informed that it had earlier requested the university on multiple occasions, to provide the necessary information required for inspection through letters dated July 3, 2015, August 12, 2015, October 21, 2016,. However, the UGC stated that the university had failed to provide the required information despite repeated appeals. It was on December 19, 2023, that the UGC issued a Show Cause Notice to the university, allowing it to explain why action must not be taken to remove its name from the list of universities recognized by the UGC. Copies of the Show Cause Notice were also sent to Notices to the Department of Higher Education, Government of Manipur, requesting it to take immediate action. The UGC in its letter claimed that it had not received any response from the university and the comments from the Manipur Government, following which it decided to remove the name of the Sangai International University from the list of recognized universities.[4]
As per with Sangai International University Act, representatives of the Government of Manipur and University Grant Commission, Ministry of HRD, Government of India form part of the Senior Management of the University.
