PRIVATE UNIVERSITY

(EIRI/EDPR/1470) J.C. 251

INTRODUCTION

Generally, under the laws of India, education is one of the charitable objects and hence it can only be conducted by a society or a trust or a section 25c company only. Reference may kindly be drawn to UGC regulations of 2003 which permits all these three types of entities to establish a Private University. Similar provisions are also found in the relevant guidelines of other state. However, a perusal of proposed UGC regulation of 2010 suggests that UGC has omitted sec 25c companies from the list of sponsoring body. Hence, it will be difficult to allow sec 25c companies in the sponsoring body for a Private University. The sponsoring body should be a registered society or registered trust. The sponsoring body registered outside of the State may also be allowed to establish a Private University in the State.

Term of Existence:-
