In the Indian higher
education sector, universities are classified into four types depending on the
manner in which they were set-up. The offered four Universities are –
Central University
State University
Deemed University and
Private University
One must be thinking what
the difference between these universities. In practical senses, they have lot
of differences. These universities are categorized on several bases like grade
system, education standard, grade by the All India Education Council, courses
etc.
In general words, a
deemed university is a college or institution with a name of the university whereas
in the category of private university a range of colleges and institutes comes.
Since there are many institutes in India, it is advisable to be cautious from
fake universities. Recently in January 2010, Ministry of HRD, India has derecognized
44 Deemed Universities due to major faults found on their educational system.
So always check the recognition before choosing any of the college or
university.
Here I am discussing you
the main differences between deemed university and private university:
Rules and Regulations:
The main area of difference between the deemed
universities and private Universities are in the rules and regulations that is
required to be followed. The private Universities have to follow a lot of strict
rules and norms which the Deemed universities don’t. Deemed Universities have
the right to carry on their own educational affairs such as conducting the examination
and setting up the syllabus. However, the private Universities have to consider
a particular time for all the colleges under it.
Fee Structure:
Another difference between private universities
and deemed universities are in fee structure. The fee structure in deemed
universities are more flexible as compared to the Private universities.
Status:
The status of these
deemed universities are accorded by the UGC (University Grants Commission).
Section 3 of the UGC Act, provides for the conferring of this status of
autonomy granted to excellent performing institutes and departments of diverse
universities in India. For an institution to be given the status of a private
university, the state legislature conferring the status has to pass an act by
which the institution will receive the status of a university. Private
universities have to be recognized by the UGC so that the degrees awarded by
them have to be of any value.
Course Structure:
A deemed university
cannot be run only by offering course in diverse subjects. There is a research
field that runs under the university. But this condition is not necessary for
the private Universities. If you are planning to do graduation or
post-graduation in engineering, management, medical, physics, maths etc, and
then you can opt for any of the recognized university, private or deemed. But
if you want to go in the research field from some definite sector then Deemed
universities may be a good choice.
Colleges under deemed university and private university:
The Birla Institute of
Technology and Science at Pilani in Rajasthan, which is funded and run by the
Birla Group Trust, became an officially recognised university in 1964. National
Institutes of Technology (formerly known as Regional Engineering Colleges),
Manipal Academy of Higher Education, Symbiosis International Education Centre,
Pune comprising Symbiosis Institute of Computer Studies and Research, Symbiosis
Institute of Business Management, Symbiosis Society's Law College, NarseeMonjee Institute of Management Studies, Indian Institute of Information
Technology and Management, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore are deemed
universities.
