Education202267 sections6 chapters

The G.M University Act, 2022 establishes and regulates G.M University as a self-financing unitary private university in Karnataka, sponsored by the Srishyla Educational Trust, Davanagere. It sets out the legal and governance framework for the institution, defining the powers and duties of key officers, the Board of Governors, Board of Management, and Academic Council. The Act applies to the university management, academic staff, administrative employees, and students. It matters because it enforces academic standards aligned with national bodies like the University Grants Commission, reserves forty percent of admissions for Karnataka students, and provides government oversight to prevent commercialization and mismanagement in higher education.
