Central Universities in India

more_vert

Central Universities in India are formed by the Department of Higher Education, Government of India, by an Act of Parliament. Unlike the State Universities where the responsibility of funding the Universities lines on the Government of respective states, The Government of India is responsible for arranging, allocating and distributing financial resources required by the University Grants Commission (UGC) for the establishment of Central Universities in India. As of December 2015 there are 46 Central Universities in India as per UGC. As of Feburary 2016, Delhi and Uttar Pradesh have the most number of Central Universities, each having 5 Universities. The states of Goa, Andhra Pradesh and Chandigarh (U.T.) are the only regions which do not have any Central Universities under them.

Main features of Central Universities are

  • The President of India acts as the 'Visitor' for all the Central Universities.

  • The Ministry of Human Resources and Development (MHRD) assists the President of India in the appointment of Vice Chancellors, Court Nominees and Selection Committee Nominees.

  • The President has the power to nominate a few members to the Executive Committee/Board of Management/Court/Selection Committees of the University in terms of the various statutes and provisions laid down in the University Act.
