Adequate university top after review: put out (2,2,5)
I believe the answer is:
up to snuff
'adequate' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'university top after review put out' is the wordplay.
'university' becomes 'U' (abbreviation for university).
'after review' indicates an anagram (letters reviewed or revised).
'put out' becomes 'snuff' (I've seen this before).
'top' anagrammed gives 'pto'.
'u'+'pto'+'snuff'='UP TO SNUFF'
(Other definitions for up to snuff that I've seen before include "Dependent on tobacco" , "in good health" , "Feeling good" , "arrived at Standard?" , "Of a suitable standard" .)
