(b) Similarly, Section 2(f) of UGC Act,1956 defines „University‟ as under: “ University means a University established or incorporated by or under a Central Act, a Provincial Act or a State Act, and includes any such institution as may, in consultation with the University concerned, be recognized by the Commission in accordance with the regulations made in this behalf under this Act.” (c) As regards to „Deemed University‟, Section 3 of the UGC Act, 1956 read as under: “The Central Government may, on the advice of the Commission, declare by notification in the official Gazette, that any institution for higher education, other than a University, shall be deemed to be a university for the purposes of this Act, and on such a declaration being made, all the provision of this Act, and on such a declaration being made, all the provisions of this Act, shall apply to such institution as if it were a University within the meaning of clause(f) of section 2.” (d) According to Section 2(k) of the IMCC Act, „University‟ for the purpose of IMCC Act is a University, which has been established by a law made by the competent legislature. Whereas Deemed Universities are the institutions which have been notified under Section 3 of the UGC Act as Deemed University, and there is no condition that those institutions should have been established by law. Since Deemed Universities are not the Universities established by any law, they cannot be recognized as University for the purpose of “University” under Section 2(k) of IMCC Act.
