The Delhi government is likely to issue an ordinance to facilitate the establishment of private universities in the capital, after the Cabinet approved a draft bill that would create a legal framework for such institutions. The legislation aims to expand higher education options and promote research, innovation, entrepreneurship, and academic collaborations. It mandates that 25% of seats in each programme be reserved for Delhi students according to existing reservation policy, and proposes a Delhi Private Universities Regulatory Authority to oversee teaching standards, research, governance, admissions, examinations, student records, and overall institutional performance.
