In January 2024 the Enforcement Directorate raided the office of the Vice Chancellor and registrar in connection with a Rs 150 cr recruitment scam in Kolar-Chikkaballapura District Co-operative Milk Producers Union Limited (KOMUL).[27][28]

At the start of 2024 about 129 teaching posts remained vacant at the university.[29][30] In a move to further hide transparency, the university syndicate decided to stop live streaming of meetings.[31]

Due to poor resource management, the University is closing down multiple post graduate courses.[32] Evening college courses have been discontinued.[33] Facing multiple issues, the ABVP union created a protest forcing the university to address them.[34]
