Bare Act
The CEPT University Act, 2005
The CEPT University Act, 2005 establishes and governs CEPT University in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, as a non-affiliating university specializing in design, planning, technology, and environmental studies. It sets up the university's governance structure, including the Governing Body, Board of Management, Executive Council, and Academic and Research Council, detailing their powers to confer degrees, set curricula, manage finances, and recruit staff. The Act applies to university officials, faculty, staff, and students, while outlining transition arrangements for existing institutions and personnel.
