Hi Shruthi,
Law does not specifically exempts University for deducting TDS when the University is the receipient. So it is better to deduct tax. But please be ready for refund payment, University will not agree for TDS, due to their increased administrative work, they will ensure that they are paid fully !!! I have experience in past while deducting TDS to IIT.

Hi.
Just because the university income is exempted u/s 10, there is no exemption to the payer of rent from from deducting TDS. Further, university can make an application under 197 for nil deduction of tax....
