Overview
Keen College functions within the framework of Indian higher education, which is organised around a system of central universities, state universities, deemed universities, and affiliating colleges. Colleges in India typically operate under the academic affiliation of a university, which conducts examinations and awards degrees, while the college itself manages teaching, day-to-day administration, and student life.
Context of Indian higher education
Indian colleges generally offer undergraduate programmes, and in many cases postgraduate programmes, in fields such as arts, science, commerce, education, and professional disciplines. Regulation of higher education is shared between bodies such as the University Grants Commission (UGC) at the national level and the corresponding state higher education departments. Affiliating colleges follow the syllabi prescribed by their parent university and adhere to its examination calendar.
