Central Universities

Central Universities are major higher education institutions funded and operated by the national government of a country. In India, for example, they are established by an Act of Parliament and serve as premier universities, offering undergraduate, postgraduate, and research programs across diverse fields. These universities typically have a national scope, attracting students from all regions, and are recognized for maintaining high academic standards, advanced facilities, and contributing to national development through research and innovation. Their status often grants them greater funding, autonomy, and prestige compared to state or private universities.
