UGC NET 2016 Paper 3 Electronic Science Question Paper (10-Jul-2016)
The correct answer is

(b), (c) and (d)

To determine which statements about deemed universities are correct, we need to evaluate each option:

  1. Statement (a): "The Governor of the State is the chancellor of deemed universities."
    This statement is incorrect. The chancellor of a deemed university is usually appointed by the sponsoring body and is not necessarily the Governor of the State. Therefore, this statement is not true for deemed universities.
  2. Statement (b): "They can design their own syllabus and course work."
    This statement is correct. Deemed universities have the autonomy to design their own syllabus and course work. This flexibility allows them to innovate and adapt their academic programs according to their own vision and goals.
  3. Statement (c): "They can frame their own guidelines regarding admission and fees."
    This statement is correct. Deemed universities have the authority to frame their own guidelines for admission processes and fee structures. This autonomy helps them manage their own affairs independently.
  4. Statement (d): "They can grant degrees."
    This statement is correct. Deemed universities have the power to award degrees in their own name. This ability is part of what defines them as 'deemed' under the University Grants Commission (UGC) when they are given this status.

Hence, the correct statements about deemed universities are (b), (c), and (d). Therefore, the correct answer is the option: (b), (c), and (d).
