Explanation

SNDT Women's University, Mysore University and Banaras Hindu University were all founded in 1916.

SNDT was India's first women's university, started by Dhondo Keshav Karve.

Mysore University was among the first outside British direct control, set up by the princely state.

Banaras Hindu University was founded through the efforts of Madan Mohan Malaviya.

Osmania came in 1918 and Patna in 1917, so both fall outside this year.

These three mark a landmark year in the expansion of Indian universities.
