This Act establishes Capital University, a self-financed, non-affiliating private university situated in West Sikkim, and sets out the framework for its governance, administration, and academic operations. It applies to the university management, faculty, staff, regulatory authorities, and prospective students. The law mandates transparent, merit-based admissions, outlines fee structures under regulatory supervision, and requires mandatory seat reservations of at least 25 percent for Sikkim residents alongside a 50 percent quota for local non-teaching staff. By enforcing national academic standards, accreditation requirements, and financial accountability, the Act ensures the institution delivers structured, quality higher education while expanding local educational opportunities.
