Some of the country's celebrated sportspersons are among the thousands of students who have reason to be anxious as their city-based educational institute has figured in the nationwide list of establishments that
may lose their deemed university status.

World professional billiards champion Pankaj Advani, cricketers Manish Pandey, Karun Nayar and Mayank Agarwal, national badminton champion Aditya Prakash, chess grandmaster Ashwin Jayram and other sportspersons representing India in the 2010 Commonwealth Games are pursuing various courses in the city's Jain University, which finds itself under a cloud over its status.

Jain is among the 44 educational institutes named across the country in a report for not being fit to retain the status of 'deemed university'.

Billiards champion Pankaj Advani, chess grandmaster Ashwin Jayramu00a0 and India Under-19 cricket squad member Mayank Agarwal are all students of Jain University.
