However the UGC got the status of statutory body of the Indian Government through an act of Parliament in November 1956. The UGC since then has been co-ordinating, determining and maintaining standards of university education and teaching in the country.

The two additional bureaus carry out the work from 35, Feroze Shah Road and the South Campus of University of Delhi.
