What is a Deemed University?

Deemed university is a status of autonomy granted to high performing institutes and departments of various universities in India. This status of ‘Deemed-to-be-University’, is granted by Department of Higher Education, UHRD, on the advice of the (UGC) of India, under Section 3 of the University Grants Commission (UGC) Act, 1956.

The UGC began in 1956 after Indian parliament passed the University Grants Commission Act “to make provision for the co-ordination and determination of standards in Universities and for that purpose, to establish a University Grants Commission.”
