Education201746 sections

The Arka Jain University Act, 2017 establishes and governs Arka Jain University as a non-affiliating private university located in Gamharia, Jharkhand. It applies to the university management, academic officers, faculty, staff, students, and state regulatory authorities. The Act matters because it provides the legal framework for the university to grant degrees across diverse academic disciplines while operating without regular government financial assistance. It safeguards public interest by enforcing merit-based admissions, reserving seats and non-teaching jobs for Jharkhand residents, offering scholarships for economically weaker students, and mandating national accreditation. Furthermore, it empowers the state government to monitor quality, regulate finances, and intervene in cases of maladministration.
