Introduction
In India Universities can be established under a Central Act (Central Universities) or a State Act (State
University). Of the 255 universities, 182 are State Universities and 17 Central Universities.
They enjoy complete autonomy in respect of developing and innovating academic programs on their own.
The “deemed university” status is granted by the University Grants Commission (UGC) in accordance with
Section 3 of the UGC Act, 1956 with the approval of the Department of Secondary and Higher Education
in the Ministry of Human Resource Development.
2. State Universities
State universities are run by the state government of each of the states and territories of India, and are usually established by a
local parliament act. As of 26 August 2011, the UGC lists 281 state universities, around 170 of which are receiving
Central/UGC assistance. The oldest establishment date listed by the UGC is 1857, shared by the University of Mumbai, the
University of Madras and the University of Calcutta.
3. Private Universities
Private universities are approved by the UGC. They can grant degrees but they are not allowed to have off-
campus affiliated colleges. The UGC list from 1 September 2011 lists 94 private universities.
4. Deemed university
Deemed university, or "Deemed-to-be-University", is a status of autonomy granted by the Department of
Higher Education on the advice of the UGC, under Section 3 of UGC Act, 1956. The UGC list from 23
June 2008 lists 130 deemed universities. According to this list, the first institute to be granted deemed
university status was Indian Institute of Science which was granted this status on 12 May 1958. Note that
in many cases, the same listing by the UGC covers several institutes. For example, the listing for Homi
Bhabha National Institute covers the Institute of Mathematical Sciences, the Indira Gandhi Centre for
Atomic Research and other institutes. The list below includes only the major institute granted the status,
and such additional institutes are not listed separately.
2. Unitary Universities
The unitary universities have a single campus and largely concentrate on postgraduate studies and research,
though some may also have provision for undergraduate programs, e.g., Aligarh Muslim University,
Banaras Hindu University, Jawaharlal Nehru University. Some of the unitary universities have also
colleges under them known as university colleges or constituent colleges.
3. Affiliating Universities
Affiliating universities generally have a central campus on which are located departments or schools or
institutes that impart postgraduate centers located outside the campus in different districts. Affiliating
universities may also have university colleges (within the campus) as well as constituent colleges (outside
the campus). These universities have variable number of colleges affiliated to them. They are located in
districts within the jurisdiction of the university as specified in the Acts. There are more than 9200 colleges
affiliated to universities. Most of the Indian universities are of the affiliating type with the larger ones like
Calcutta, Mumbai, Bangalore, Osmania, each having more than 250 affiliated colleges under its wings with
enrollment of students exceeding one lakh. The University Grants Commission has now established the
National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) in accordance with Section 12CCC o the UGC
Act, 1956, to assess the quality of education imparted by universities and colleges and grade them
accordingly.
4. Subject Universities
While most of the “deemed universities” and “institutions of national importance” deal with specific
subjects, there is now a new trend of establishing subject-oriented universities in various States. To begin
with, one agricultural university was established in each State. All colleges of agriculture, forestry,
veterinary and animal husbandry, and home science affiliated to different universities in the State, were
transferred to this university as its constituent colleges. The number of agricultural universities is 28.
5. Open Universities
Another recent development is the establishment of exclusive Open Universities. Traditionally, a large
number of universities, during the last three decades or so, had been offering correspondence courses
(distance education or distance learning as the system is now known) for the benefit of those, who for
various reasons cannot pursue higher studies in colleges and universities. While as many as 60 universities
now offer correspondence courses, ten separate universities, called Open Universities, had been established
in different states for providing education exclusively through distance learning mode.
