   • (a) constitution and personnel of the managing body;
   • (b) subjects and courses in regard to which recognition is sought;
   • (c) accommodation, equipment, library facilities and the number of students for whom provision has been or is proposed to be made;
   • (d) the strength of the staff, their qualifications and salaries and the research work done by them;
   • (e) fees levied or proposed to be levied and the financial provision made for capital expenditure on building and equipment and for the continued maintenance and efficient working of the institution.

4. (4) If the Executive Council decides to take the application into consideration, it may direct a local inquiry to be made by a competent person or persons authorised by it in this behalf. After considering the report made as a result of such local inquiry and making such further inquiry as may appear to it to be necessary, the Executive Council shall, after obtaining the opinion of the Academic Council, grant or refuse the application or any part thereof. Where the application or any part thereof is granted, the Executive Council shall specify the subjects and courses of instructions in respect of which the institution is recognised and make a report to that effect to the Academic Council at its next succeeding meeting.
