Unless the TMO has pulled out very recently, this is very much a TMO school. I know something about its history as I was tangentially involved when it was first set up. One (sort of) side note is that MMY was very strong that his name or any kind of the usual TM name was not given to the school - very clear difference in the usual approach. The whole TM requirement has always been played down by the TMO, rather than being promoted (the usual scenario in the western world and India anyway). However, up until few months ago, TM was a requirement until the usual happened (given enough time) - someone complained (or sued, I cannot remember) about being forced to do TM, and now the TMO has backed down about being "required" - but TM is still strongly encouraged. Again, unless something that I have not heard of has happened, it is definitely a TMO institution - but the low-key style is very different than the usual approach. Also, as another side note, the number of students who are Sidhas in the university has meant that South Africa has had and exceeded its superradiance number for the past several years.
