One of the senior officials indicated that the HRD Ministry is in plans to grant more autonomy to top performing educational institutes. However, deemed varsity status will give complete autonomy to an institute.

If everything happens as per the proposal, these colleges need not abide by rules and regulations laid by Delhi University, and they need not seek sanctions from DU for any decision.
