Corporate Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid today favoured a regulator in management education to improve the quality of these courses.

"There is need to consider it (management education regulator)," Khurshid told reporters here.

He said the University Grants Commission do not regulate management education, since they regulate universities.

"There are two ways to improve the quality. One is that you leave it to the market. Second, you set up the regulator. I feel that there should a regulator instead of controller. That can be internal also," he added on the sidelines of a function on management here.

Khurshid's comments came when there is already proposals for regulation of legal and medical education.

While the Law Ministry plans to set up a national commission to regulate various aspects of legal education in India, a bill is being mooted for watchdog in medical education.
