## Description

The University Grants Commission (UGC) is a statutory body of the Government of India, established in 1953 and made statutory by an Act of Parliament in 1956. Based in New Delhi, it is responsible for coordinating university education and determining and maintaining standards in teaching, examinations, and research across India. The UGC supports students, faculty, and higher education institutions through initiatives, guidance, regulations, and information services. Its resources include fellowships and scholarships, research awards, publications, annual reports, and portals and helplines. The Commission also provides information on universities and colleges, including central, state, deemed-to-be, and private universities, and publishes notices about institutional recognition and compliance. Its key initiatives cover areas such as academic collaboration, qualifications frameworks, faculty development, community engagement, and the Indian Knowledge System. Through its website, the UGC shares circulars, advisories, policy updates, and opportunities, while helping students and parents check the authenticity of higher education institutions before applying. It serves as a central source of guidance for India’s higher education sector.
