Please tell us about which style you are talking or post a link so that
we can have a look for ourselves. As far as the OSM standard style is
concerned it does not have an icon for university buildings (yet).

Thanks for the response.
The point i want to mention that, we should improve the Icons for
different type for establishments. For example "University Building" it
uses the "Home" icon, but i think it should be different because
building could be administration or hostel. This is an example but there
are other similar cases.

One thing i faced every time and asked from many that, is there a
way to improve the icon set to make the map more attractive.
(apologies if I'm stating the obvious here, but...)
"OpenStreetMap" isn't just "the standard map that you see at
openstreetmap.org <http://openstreetmap.org>". There are five
different tile layers available from the layer switcher there,
designed for different purposes. Elsewhere, there are other styles.
For example,
https://github.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=project+extension%3Amml&type=Code&ref=searchresults
currently finds > 700, and no doubt there are lots of others
elsewhere. Depending on what data you're showing, I'd expect that a
different map style would make sense. Just today I was using a
commercial application that showed locations using "MQ Open" tiles
(they wanted a road-atlassy thing I guess); something that wanted to
show location in a mountainous area I'd would expect show contours
or hillshading. OpenStreetMap's "standard" style has as one of its
goals feedback to mappers, so it includes more detail (for example
of different sorts of shops) than I'd expect most general purpose
maps to want to show.
It's very possible (and not terribly difficult) to come up with a
map style that highlights the data that you want - making it then
look nice is the tricky bit, as to me would be figuring out how to
host and serve the data to allcomers (though as Wikimedia I suspect
you've solved that last bit).
