[4] From its original location in Vishrambaug Wada and later in Wanwadi, the Poona College was shifted to its present large campus near Yerwada.

Another of the four, the professor of Oriental languages, supervised five traditional Sanskrit shastris and an expert in Zend Pahlevi in an extensive program of research and text publication, in addition to his teaching duties.

[6] Deccan College temporarily shut down its teaching activities in 1934 due to lack of funding.

The re-opened institute originally had four teaching and research departments: Archaeology, Linguistics, History, and Sociology-Anthropology.

As per the Transfer Deed the Deccan College Poona Trust came into existence in which were vested the properties including the land and buildings.

In accordance with the provision in the Transfer Deed, the appointments of the Trustees today are made by the State Government.

In the next half-century the institute, apart from giving instruction to postgraduate students and producing over 500 PhD dissertations, carried out outstanding research in Ancient Indian History, Culture and Archaeology, Linguistics, Medieval and Maratha History, Sociology-Anthropology and Sanskrit Studies.

[citation needed] Currently, Deccan College has three teaching and research departments: Archaeology, Linguistics and Sanskrit and Lexicography.

As of 2016, it is currently involved in the ongoing multi-year excavation of the largest Indus Valley civilization site of Rakhigarhi in Hisar district of Haryana.
