The Poornima University, Jaipur Act, 2012

Education201248 sections

This statute establishes Poornima University in Jaipur, Rajasthan, as a self-financed private institution sponsored by the Shanti Education Society. It details the university's governance framework, defining the roles of officers, the Board of Management, and the Academic Council. Applying to students, faculty, staff, and administrators, the legislation regulates admissions based on merit, fee structures, examination schedules, degree awards, and adherence to national educational standards. It matters because it expands access to higher education across multiple academic disciplines while providing government oversight, including financial auditing, quality inspection, and statutory provisions for dissolving the university if standards are compromised.
