State universities in India
are also known as public universities which are run by state governments. Unlike
central universities in India
, state universities are established through a legislative assembly act by the respective state assemblies. All state universities that are run by state governments come under the ambit of the
University Grants Commission (UGC).
As per the latest list of UGC, there are
367 state universities in India
. Among these, University of Mumbai, University of Calcutta and University of Madras are regarded as some of the oldest universities in India with an esteemed value and prestige attached to it. The
Governor
of the respective state is the official
‘Visitor’
of the state universities in India.
