In Odisha, the Governing Body (GB) of a Government College plays a crucial role in the administration, academic policies, and financial management of the institution. The structure and functions of the Governing Body are generally based on the guidelines provided by the Department of Higher Education, Government of Odisha, and the affiliating university.
The Department of Higher Education, Government of Odisha, and the Odisha State Higher Education Council (OSHEC) oversee the functioning of Government College Governing Bodies. Colleges must comply with UGC norms, AICTE guidelines (for technical institutes), and university regulations.
