List of State Universities in India
List of State Universities in IndiaIn this blog, we are going to discuss the list of state universities in India, but before that let's first talk about what higher education is. Higher education is one of the prior social aims of every civilization and every community that springs along in that civilization. Schooling not only guides but also trains the mind for the long road onwards of getting into a job, forming a family, and becoming a responsible resident. While primary and secondary studies prepare the mind for the journey forth, higher education feeds you with the needed skill set to thrive in a career of your choice.
The Indian constitution assigned the duty of dissemination of education to the state government in the year 1950. Universities were set up in particular states to assure higher education was made obtainable to students from the state. Later, via amendment in 1976, this responsibility was split between the state governments and the central government. Universities were established across the nation to ensure people had the keys to higher schooling. The administration for identifying universities in India is the University Grants Commission (UGC), which was awarded this power through the University Grants Commission Act of 1956.
Now, we are going to take a look at what state universities exactly are and see a list of all the state universities across India, the advantages they offer to the students, and further related matters.
What is a State University?
- A state university is a public university that is established or set up by a State Act (or in some cases Provincial Act) is known as a state university.
- In simple words, it is a university set up by a state and territories of the country. Each state or territory has its own number of universities.
- Overall there are 441 state universities across the nation today. The oldest establishment date recorded by the UGC is 1857, shared by the University of Madras, the University of Calcutta, and the University of Mumbai.
- The responsibility of the state does not conclude with the setting up of a state university. It too has to guarantee good grants and funds are delivered to the universities it sets up. Funds can come in the form of plan or non-plan grants.
- The grants confirm the universities stay operational at the highest level and also support their maintenance.

The State University and Its Connection with the UGC
Even though the state establishes a state university, it is mandated to coordinate with the guidelines set by the UGC. The UGC, excluding the special cases, does not deliver grants to state universities. This was determined as per Section 12(B) of the UGC Act, which noted that state universities founded beyond June 17, 1972, were not qualified for acquiring grants from the UGC, the central government, or even any other association that was being financed by the Indian Government. Such a university will be capable of accepting grants only if the UGC is satisfied that given the standards applied down and the processes being obeyed, the university falls under the exceptional type and is ‘fit to receive grants.’ The most recent list, issued by the UGC on 22 November 2021, records 259 universities as fit to receive Central/UGC allowance.
Who are the universities to whom UGC does not deliver funds? These universities contain only medical and agriculture universities. A few state universities that deliver specialized programs in a precise stream and also include cross-stream divisions under them do receive an allowance from the UGC in the form of exceptional grants.

Are State Universities a Good Option for Students?
State universities are surely a good bet for students. In India, in fact, parents often look forward to bringing their infant into state universities although a deemed or private university with adequate allowance may be just a block away from their residences. The causes for this type of preference are manifold.
The first and most significant cause is that they are ‘state universities’. This to many, is an automatic confirmation of many things. A state university will never be lacking of allowances because the stand is on the state to deliver for their maintenance and supervision. That is a considerable benefit for many: no one likes to take the risk of placing their child in a university where there is no assurance of continuity. Secondly, there is the question of prestige. Some of the oldest higher studies organizations in India, like the University of Mumbai, the University of Calcutta, and the University of Madras, are state universities.
The third reason is of course, understanding. Many families have family members, relatives, or acquaintances who examined and passed out of a state university. That provides the university with an atmosphere of positivity and an automatic dose of goodwill. For many, it is a case of continuity and a necessity for the student to experience the university they went to.
With this, we reach to an end to our blog on the List of State Universities in India. We hope this blog fed you with all the details you require about the state universities in India.
