Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Concept
An institution declared as deemed to be a university under Section 3 of the UGC Act receives university-like academic powers, including the authority to award degrees.
Its academic and administrative autonomy operates within UGC and other statutory rules; deemed status does not automatically make the State Governor its Chancellor.
Application
Statement (a) is not a general rule. Under the applicable UGC governance framework, the Chancellor of a deemed university is appointed under its governing arrangement rather than automatically being the State Governor.
Statement (b) reflects academic autonomy: a deemed university can design its syllabus and coursework, subject to applicable standards.
Statement (c) reflects administrative autonomy: it can frame admission and fee procedures, while remaining bound by UGC and relevant statutory regulations.
Statement (d) follows from deemed-university status under the UGC Act: the institution can award degrees in accordance with law.
Cross-check
Thus statement (a) is excluded, while statements (b), (c), and (d) are included. The supported combination is (b), (c), and (d).
