Explanation

Deemed universities frame their own syllabus and courses, and the state Governor is not their Chancellor.

Statement 1 is wrong: a Governor serves as Chancellor of state universities, not of deemed universities.

Statement 2 is right: deemed-to-be universities enjoy autonomy over their syllabus and course work.

Deemed status is granted under the UGC Act on the recommendation of the UGC.

Such institutions may set fees, admissions and academic structure within the rules.

The status is conferred by the central government through the Ministry of Education.
