How do I distinguish a Private college from a government one in India? Government universities in India endorse government and private degree colleges. How do I distinguish between them? By distinction I mean any particular information that will help me determine (from the website) if a college is a private one.
A little bit of searching online turns up many lists that others have compiled that can help you distinguish whether the nature of a university in India, including whether or not it is private.

A good starting point may be Wikipedia's "List of private universities in India"
