The centres were derecognised based on various parameters, including lack of infrastructure.
Terming the derecognition “illegal”, Association president N M Poovaiah told reporters that study centres had already signed an MoU with the university two years ago. As per the MoU, the centres are authorised to conduct Bangalore University’s distance education courses.
 “In addition to this, the centres are also performing their duties such as advertising, guiding the students, and making admissions from time to time, without any complaints,” he said.
He said that every year, the government issues a notification in the month of July/August. “However, this year, the notification was deliberately given in the month of November due to internal politics,” he alleged.
Poovaiah said that the university had once again set up a sub-committee — headed by A P Ranganath — to inspect the study centres. However, the result has not been announced, and the centres are anxious. “The main cause for all these problems is Ranganath. He has visited those centres which have already been approved by the University,” Mr Poovaiah said.
Association members are said to have disagreed with the University on the reasons cited for
derecognition. 
“The University is offering only humanities and commerce subjects. For this, no labs are required. A library is not necessary as students are already provided with study material. Classrooms are available with the study centres,” he added.
The association will submit a memorandum highlighting its demands, to the Governor on Wednesday.
