In a dynamic educational landscape, deemed universities play a vital role in shaping the future of India. Their innovative programs, research contributions, and alumni success stories highlight their importance in the higher education ecosystem.
What are Deemed Universities?
Deemed universities in India are institutions that possess the autonomy to award degrees and conduct research independently. Unlike traditional universities, which are established by an Act of Parliament or State Legislature, deemed universities are granted this status by the University Grants Commission (UGC) based on their academic excellence, research contributions, and infrastructure.
Criteria to be Deemed University
To be designated as a deemed university, an institution must demonstrate a strong commitment to quality education, faculty expertise, research publications, and modern infrastructure. The UGC evaluates each institution’s eligibility based on these parameters before granting the deemed status.
