In 2010, the Government of India decided to derecognise 44 universities including JIIT.[14] However, this matter is still pending. In its recent judgement the Supreme Court of India directed the University Grants Commission to conduct a fresh physical verification of infrastructure and faculty strength of deemed universities, which were black-listed by the Tandon Committee. However, in early 2017, JIIT regained its deemed university status. JIIT received approval by AICTE in 2018.[15][16]
