Education201550 sections

This Act establishes the MIT Art, Design and Technology University in Pune, giving it legal status as a body corporate to operate independently. It regulates the university's governance by defining key bodies like the Governing Body and Board of Management, while also outlining its primary purpose to provide higher and technical education, research, and skills development. The legislation ensures the institution functions as a non-affiliating university, meaning it does not oversee other colleges, and it sets the rules for its administration, including the appointment of officers and the management of fees and student affairs.
