The National Council for Educational Research and Training (NCERT) has achieved the status of a deemed-to-be university, empowering the institution to award its own academic degrees.

This designation was officially granted by the Ministry of Education, acting on the advice of the UGC (University Grants Commission). The new status extends not only to NCERT itself but also encompasses its six constituent units.
