BBoth Statement I and Statement II are false

DStatement I is false but Statement II is true

Correct answer: (C) Statement I is true but Statement II is false

Explanation

Deemed universities do set their own admission and fee guidelines and award degrees, but the Governor is not their chancellor.

Statement 1 is correct because deemed-to-be universities enjoy academic autonomy including the power to grant degrees.

Statement 2 is wrong since the Governor serves as chancellor of state universities, not of deemed universities.

A deemed university is usually headed by a chancellor named under its own memorandum or rules.

Deemed status is conferred under Section 3 of the UGC Act to institutions of high standing.

Such autonomy lets them design courses and examinations independently.
