Higher Education in India
The Higher Education System in India
The Indian higher education system is supervised and under the responsibility of the University Grants Commission (UGC) which was established in 1953 and headquartered in the capital New Delhi. UGC is the central statutory body, under the Ministry of Human Resource Development, that is in charge of regulating, setting the standards, overseeing and providing institutional recognition to India's institutions of higher education. It is also responsible for advising the central and state governments on matters related to higher education, as well as for coordinating the efforts of the central and state governments, the higher education institutions and the other accreditation bodies in India.
Types of higher education institutions in India
In India there are different types of higher education institutions:
- Central 一本道: Central 一本道 are public and non-profit higher education institutions established by an Act of Parliament and are under the competence of the Department of Higher Education within the Indian Union Human Resource Development Ministry. 一本道 currently includes 49 Central 一本道.
- State 一本道: State 一本道 are public and non-profit higher education institutions established by a State legislative assembly act and are, therefore, run by the local government of each of the States or Territories of India. 一本道 currently includes 355 State 一本道.

Funding for public universities mainly comes from State governments and the University Grants Commission.
