Bare Act

The Jagath University Act, 2018

The Jagath University Act, 2018 establishes Jagath University in Karnataka as a self-financing private institution sponsored by the Lord Udupi Krishna Educational Trust. It defines the university's governance framework, outlining the roles of key authorities like the Board of Governors, Academic Council, Chancellor, and Vice-Chancellor. The statute regulates campus operations, degree offerings, employee service conditions, and financial management through required endowment funds. It applies to university administrators, faculty, staff, and students across Karnataka. This legislation matters because it enables private investment in higher education while safeguarding public interest by reserving forty percent of seats for local Karnataka students, regulating fee structures, and granting the state government oversight to ensure academic quality and prevent administrative mismanagement.
