- They check if there are enough teachers, support staff, and facilities either currently available or promised within a specific time limit.
- They verify that adequate hospital facilities exist or will be provided within the time limit so students can get hands-on training.
- These strict rules can sometimes be relaxed for colleges opening in specially designated areas, but only if the Central Government gives its approval first.
