Both universities were approved by the Bihar Government in May 2017[5] following the passing of Private Universities (Amendment) Bill, 2017 in March 2017 which relaxed the rules for establishment of private universities in Bihar.[6]
The 2017 law allowed a new private university to operate from a premises measuring 5,000 m² (down from 10,000 m² previously) for four years (up from two years previously) before shifting to the place designated in the project report.[6]
