Mohan Babu’s Sri Vidyanikethan Engineering College, initially granted autonomous status and later upgraded to Mohan Babu University, has come under scrutiny following allegations of financial irregularities.
The Andhra Pradesh Higher Education Regulatory and Monitoring Commission (APHERMC) reported that the university collected ₹26.17 crore in excess fees from students between 2022 and September 2024, allegedly violating government norms. Following its investigation, the commission imposed a fine of ₹15 lakh and directed the university to refund the excess amount within 15 days. APHERMC also recommended that the State Government consider revoking the university’s recognition, citing repeated violations and a lack of transparency. These details were published on APHERMC’s official website.
Responding to the media coverage, Pro-Chancellor Manchu Vishnu said:
“We are issuing this statement in response to media reports regarding certain recommendations made by APHERMC against Mohan Babu University. The university strongly opposes these recommendations, which are only suggestions. The matter is currently under judicial review in the Andhra Pradesh High Court, which has granted a stay order in favor of the university. It is unfortunate that these details were uploaded online despite the court’s stay order.
Certain sections of the media are selectively presenting information to tarnish the university’s reputation. We urge parents and the public not to believe unfounded reports. APHERMC itself acknowledges that the university team fully cooperated during the inquiry, indicating no wrongdoing. We thank thousands of parents and students for their consistent support. Under the guidance of our Chancellor, Dr. M. Mohan Babu, we remain committed to empowering youth with world-class, holistic education.”
The university emphasized its commitment to legally addressing the allegations while continuing its educational mission. The final outcome will be determined by ongoing proceedings in the Andhra Pradesh High Court.
