The UGC has the unique distinction of being the only grant-giving agency in the country which has been vested with two responsibilities: that of providing funds and that of coordination, determination and maintenance of standards in institutions of higher education.

The UGC's mandate includes:
-Promoting and coordinating university education.
-Determining and maintaining standards of teaching, examination and research in universities.
-Framing regulations on minimum standards of education.
-Monitoring developments in the field of collegiate and university education; disbursing grants to the universities and colleges.
-Serving as a vital link between the Union and state governments and institutions of higher learning.
-Advising the Central and State governments on the measures necessary for improvement of university education.
