The Act outlines the governance structure, including the roles of the Visitor, Chancellor, and various councils. It imposes strict obligations regarding merit-based admissions, reservation quotas for Sikkim residents, and infrastructure standards. Furthermore, it establishes financial safeguards like the Endowment Fund and provides the State Government with oversight powers to ensure academic standards and administrative accountability, including procedures for potential dissolution or management takeover.
