The Sai University Act, 2018

Education201852 sections

The Sai University Act, 2018, regulates the establishment, academic structure, daily operations, and governance of Sai University, a privately funded higher educational institution in Tamil Nadu, India. It applies to the university's founding trust, its administrators, faculty, staff, and students. By defining the roles of key leaders and governing councils, the Act details administrative standards and educational powers. This legislation matters because it expands access to independent higher education and research without relying on state funding, while legally reserving thirty five percent of student slots to directly benefit qualified local students who currently reside in the state of Tamil Nadu.
