The Commission for University Education has okayed students joining university this year to be admitted for courses that it is yet to accredit. As a result, the commission allowed the Placement Agency to admit students to the affected programmes in the 2019/2020 academic year,” CUE statement issued on Wednesday. The statement comes in the thick of a revelation on some 133 courses that students are pursuing but are yet to be approved. However in November last year, the university placement agency asked CUE to validate undergraduate programmes offered in public and private universities. This allowed the placement agencies to admit students to the unapproved courses in this year's admission process.
