A 'Deemed to be University' comes into existence through

A Deemed-to-be-University comes into existence when the Central Government issues a notification on the advice of the University Grants Commission under Section 3 of the UGC Act, 1956.

An act of Parliament is the route for creating a Central University, not a deemed university.

An act of the State Legislative Assembly is the route for establishing a State University.

The UGC only advises and does not itself issue the notification, and the State Government plays no role in granting deemed status.

Deemed universities enjoy academic autonomy comparable to universities but are not born of a fresh statute.

Institutions like IISc Bengaluru and TIFR hold the deemed-to-be-university status.
