To attain autonomous status in India, an institution requires several criteria to be fulfilled. Primarily, it must offer quality and consistent academic programs recognized by the National Board of Accreditation or other relevant authorities. Institutions must demonstrate financial stability and effective governance structures, often supported by a robust track record in research and community engagement. Compliance with the University Grants Commission (UGC) guidelines and maintaining minimum standards for teaching and infrastructure are essential. Moreover, implementing innovative curriculum and effective administrative practices can contribute to achieving the desired autonomous status, driving institutional growth and academic excellence.
