During the course of the next five years,
funds of Rs 1,000 crore will be provided to the three public institutions, the three private institutions will not receive funds from the government but will be given complete academic and administrative freedom.

As per a report of the committee, some institutes have been proposed
for the status of special institutions. These Institututes are :-

A separate program should be established with different goals and expectations and should be given the status of Special Institutions to these institutes the committee recommended to the government.
It was also observed by the committee that all private universities have a vision of funding their future excellence with new revenues like alumni contributions, research grants, raising funds, as the current operations of the private institutions are more or less dependent upon student fees. The committee said that the universities could increase the student’s fees and still struggle to invest in excellence if their revenue sources are not diversified.
