US EditionNCERT Granted Deemed-to-Be University Status by Centre, to Award Its Own Degrees
The designation lets NCERT award degrees and requires new research, doctoral and innovative programmes under University Grants Commission rules.
- The Ministry of Education declared the National Council for Educational Research and Training a deemed-to-be university, fulfilling an approval granted by the Centre three years ago.
- Under the De-Novo category, NCERT Regional Institute units currently operate through affiliations with local universities like Barkatullah University and University of Mysuru, limiting their independent degree-awarding capacity.

- Mandates include participating in the National Institutional Ranking Framework and creating an Academic Bank of Credits to track student identities and upload credit scores "compulsorily" to digital lockers.
- NCERT is directed to initiate research and doctoral programs, expanding the apex organization's scope beyond its current work in Educational Research and Training into emerging academic domains.
