They can be either publicly funded (e.g., IISc Bangalore) or privately funded (e.g., BITS Pilani). They must comply with UGC regulations, including the UGC (Institutions Deemed to be Universities) Regulations, 2019, which emphasize quality assurance and accountability.

They are fully or partially funded by the government (central or state) and operate with the aim of providing affordable education to a larger population. While they follow government guidelines for curriculum, fees, and admissions, some public universities (like JNU or BHU) are granted autonomous status under the UGC (Categorization of Universities for Grant of Graded Autonomy) Regulations, 2018.

Yes, you can prepare a Detailed Project Report (DPR) for a school or educational institute even if you do not currently own land.
