Overview

• The Legislative Council approved bills establishing the India International University of Legal Education and Research and amending private and state university laws.
• The government allotted 55 acres in Amaravati for the campus, with admissions targeted for 2025–26, and official accounts differ on local-seat quotas at 20% versus 25%.
• The Bar Council of India Trust will sponsor the university, which will host arbitration and mediation facilities along with a judicial training centre.
• Amendments remove a 2023 rule requiring tie-ups with top-100 global universities, a condition officials said conflicted with UGC norms and deterred entrants.
• A 100‑day inquiry was launched into alleged 2019–24 irregularities at Sri Krishnadevaraya University, alongside a 100‑day plan to fill 3,282 vacant university posts.
