Which one of the following is not a Central University?

Pondicherry University and Maulana Azad National Urdu University are established as Central Universities; Maulana Azad National Urdu University is explicitly listed as a Central University in the UGC/official compilation [1]. The University of Madras, however, is one of the oldest universities in India and is categorized among state universities in UGC listings and related summaries (it is not a Central University) [2]. Because the University of Madras is a state university while the other listed institutions are central, option 4 (University of Madras, Chennai) is the correct choice as the one that is not a Central University.
