Explanation

Banaras Hindu University, Mysore University and the S.N.D.T. Women's University were all established in 1916.

Bombay University dates to 1857, so it does not belong to the 1916 group.

Banaras Hindu University was founded in 1916 by Madan Mohan Malaviya.

Mysore University, founded in 1916, was among the first universities in a princely state.

Punjab University was established earlier, in 1882, and so is excluded.

The S.N.D.T. Women's University of 1916 was India's first university for women.
