Once the university completes all formalities, it will receive a central grant, which will help to further strengthen its infrastructure, he added.
“The university shall operate only within the territorial jurisdiction allotted to it under its Act and in no case beyond the territory of the state. The University is not allowed to start on off-campus centre beyond the jurisdiction as provided in the Act and under no circumstances beyond the state,” the notification said.
