well a known mark such as name of universities cannot be used for commercial benefits without their permission and consideration. In case you are referring to foreign universities which are not present in India and are not registered as trademarks in India, you may still be subject to an injunction by a court at the behest of such universities.

Yes you are free to sell any product. When you use any other brand or institutions name without their consent, it would amount to infringement and they can sue you for damages. It's best to take a consent from them and then sell it as well as make a few disclaimer on your website.
