Prime Time with Ravish Kumar brings you the condition of the university established in the name of freedom fighter Jayaprakash Narayan. The Jai Prakash Vishwavidyalaya (University) was established in Chapra, Bihar, in 1990. The university is not listed in the NIRF ranking issued by the Ministry of Human Resource Development. As many as 32 colleges are under this university having a total strength of 47,000 students in undergraduate and postgraduate courses. The university should have 750 professors while there are only 300 professors. It has 17 postgraduate departments that should have separate professors. However, the professors for undergraduate courses are taking classes for postgraduate courses as well. Prime Time investigates how various colleges in the country maintain poor standards of education and how little is being done to upgrade them. (Audio in Hindi)
