UGC Grants Parul University Elite Category 1 University Title

The University Grants Commission has awarded Vadodara's Parul University the Category 1 University title with Graded Autonomy, recognising its quality education and comprehensive learning experiences through interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary programmes. Parul University's continuous efforts in quality education have earned it this prestigious recognition.

The University Grants Commission has granted Parul University autonomy status in line with the national goal of enhancing global excellence. This recognition rewards its effective academic practices, making it the youngest State Private University to achieve this status.

The UGC recognises Category 1 Universities as high-quality institutions due to their top rankings in NAAC and world rankings. These universities enjoy autonomy in key academic aspects, such as programme initiation and ODL opportunities and are granted 12B status, allowing them to receive research grants and engage foreign professors without UGC approval.
