Have a healthy Student – Teacher ratio (15:1)

Have an existing combined enrolment of 2000 students and proposed enrolment no of no. students must be enough to sustain the institution as a university (4000).

The physical proximity of the institutions (15‐20 km) should be such that they are able to share physical and human resources and not hamper student and faculty mobility

The creation of the new cluster university must address critical gaps in spatial distribution of institutions across the State.

Coverage of socially and economically backward groups must be ensured.

The new university must address the affiliation issues of the existing
