Central universities in India are government-run universities created by a law from Parliament. The Department of Higher Education mainly oversees them in the Ministry of Education. However, nine of these universities are looked after by different government departments. Usually, universities in India need to be recognized by the University Grants Commission (UGC), which gets its authority from a law made in 1956. Besides, there are 15 Professional Councils that manage various parts of accreditation and coordination. Central universities also follow the Central Universities Act of 2009. This law explains their goals, powers, and how they are run, and it also started 12 new universities.
