Education201854 sections

This legislation establishes and governs the Gandhi Institute of Engineering and Technology University in Odisha as a private, self-financed unitary university created by the Vidya Bharati Educational Trust. It regulates the university's corporate structure, academic programs, management bodies, officer appointments, and financial funds while transferring existing college assets to the new institution. The Act applies to university administrators, faculty, staff, students, and the sponsoring trust. It matters because it empowers the institution to grant recognized degrees in engineering, technology, and management, ensures merit-based and non-discriminatory admissions, provides fee concessions for marginalized groups, and establishes official regulatory oversight without using state government financial aid.
