None of the references in the article meet the criteria for establishing notability. They are either routine announcements or they rely entirely on information provided by a connected person or the organization. No doubt the company exists, just the references don't show that it is notable. Fails WP:NCORP HighKing⁺⁺ 13:35, 2 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Will update this table with more sources. VV 13:11, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for this VV, I'll take a closer look at those references. Just on the one from Bar & Bench, I am unable to access the full article (paywall). Can you confirm whether this article publishes the actual report or whether it is commenting on the report? In either case, notability is not inherited. HighKing⁺⁺ 20:57, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The secondary source, which is an accepted RS for legal news, linked to the full report on their own website and also writes about the report. This is one of the few institutions which actually has good coverage in RS. VV 04:17, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep I don't think WP:BEFORE was correctly followed in this case. Dhawangupta (talk) 06:24, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• This institute would only have to pass WP:NCORP, rather than the alternative WP:GNG, if it was a for-profit institute. That seems very unlikely since it is owned by a trust. Remember that most private schools and higher education establishments are not for-profit, such as, for example, all of the American Ivy League universities.

  • Comment The assumption I made in nominating this organization was that it was a for-profit organization. I was unable to find anything to suggest it was non-profit - ownership by a trust does not automatically mean it is non-profit. If it is non-profit, I'll withdraw the nomination. HighKing⁺⁺ 11:11, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • HighKing It is a for-profit institution and either WP:GNG or WP:NSCHOOLS is relevant here. VV 12:15, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • This source, published by Ars Electronica, says that this is non-profit. Phil Bridger (talk) 17:50, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      • HighKing, Looking for offline data, the institution is not-for-profit. Even the newly acquiring institution(MAHE) falls under this category. Best! VV 03:55, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: Found some decent sources on doing a WP:Before which makes it pass NORG. Just showing an important one from Indian express [1]here. Kichu🐘 ^{Need any help?} 11:39, 3 May 2021 (UTC) Blocked sockpuppet.--Goldsztajn (talk) 06:12, 6 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment That reference is based entirely on an announcement by the Vice Chancellor of MAHE Manipal, a connected organization. The journalist does not add any independent analysis/opinion/etc therefore the reference contains no "Independent Content" and fails WP:ORGIND. HighKing⁺⁺ 11:11, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • HighKing You are correct. That is based on a press release. However, there is several references via a google news and scholar search that if combined gives SIGCOV. VV 12:15, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment This needs to be listed on Art, design, technology, and schools del sort. VV 13:08, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Withdraw Nomination Please consider this nomination withdrawn. Based on confirmation that this is a non-profit organization. HighKing⁺⁺ 16:20, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
