Karnataka Imposes 3-Year Moratorium on New Private Pre-University Colleges

Karnataka’s government has announced a three-year moratorium on the approval of new private pre-university (PU) colleges. The decision, reported by The Hindu, means that no new private PU institutions will be granted permission during this period. The move is aimed at regulating the rapid expansion of private PU colleges across the state. The moratorium will remain in force for the next three years, after which the government may revisit the policy.
