Of specific interest are Institutes of National Importance
(INIs). INIs are institutions which are set by an act of parliament. They receive special recognition and funding. The Department of Higher Education's list includes 33 institutions. Some other institutes were added to the list recently. INIs are marked below with a hash (#).
# Institute of National Importance
The Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology Act 1982 which established Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology
was amended in 1999, creating Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology of Kashmir
(SKUAST-K) and Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology of Jammu
(SKUAST-J). The UGC lists the original university, with establishment date of 1982, at the original Kashmir location, without listing SKUAST-J in any way. The SKUAST-K website also sees this as a split of SKUAST-J and a rename of the original university. The ICAR lists the original university at the Jammu location, and lists SKUAST-K separately.
Rajmata Vijayaraje Scindia Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya (RVSKVV) was bifurcated from Jawaharlal Nehru Agricultural University
by an act of the Madhya Pradesh government. While it is not listed by the UGC as a separate university, it is listed by the ICAR.
