Regulations on Establishment, Maintenance and Recognition of Institutions:

22.3 In the event of the withdrawal of the deemed university status, action shall be
simultaneously initiated to protect the interests of the students according to such
precedents and practices as applicable or determined for the specific situation.
22.4 If an institution deemed to be university wishes to withdraw itself or its constituents
from the status of ‘institution deemed to be university’, it may do so with the prior
permission of the Central Government. Such withdrawal shall take effect only after
the last batch of students then enrolled, passes out of the institution deemed to be
university.
23.0 CONSIDERATION OF OLD PROPOSALS

All proposals (whether seeking declaration as an institution deemed to be university or
seeking approval for establishing off-Campus Centres/off-shore Campus(es) or inclusion of
other institutions in the ambit of the institution deemed to be university), which are either
pending/in process in the Commission or have been received by the Central Government,
shall be governed by these Regulations.
Provided if an institution has submitted its proposal to Government before 20th May 2016,
and desires so in writing, its application would be processed under the UGC (Institutions
Deemed to be Universities) Regulations, 2010. However, it would have to give an undertaking
to become compliant with UGC (Institutions Deemed to be Universities) Regulations, 2016
within two years of the notification, failing which the deemed university status would be
withdrawn by the Government and he would have to apply afresh under these Regulations.
