Sardar Patel University

Sardar Patel University, Vallabh Vidyanagar, Anand district, Gujarat, was founded on 30 October 1955 as Sardar Vallabhbhai Vidyapeeth. It is not to be confused with several unrelated institutions sharing the "Sardar Patel" name, including a university of agriculture and technology in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, two separately governed engineering institutions in Mumbai, and a police university in Rajasthan.

The university's Fourth Cycle NAAC result is Grade A, valid 10 January 2023 to 9 January 2028, per sources tracing to the university's own IQAC page; the exact current CGPA could not be resolved between two conflicting figures found during this research. It does not appear to have a published NIRF 2025 rank in any category checked directly against nirfindia.org, despite the university's own NIRF page indicating a 2025 data submission.

Programmes

Sardar Patel University organises its academic offerings across 11 named faculties, per its own official homepage: Arts, Science, Home Science, Business Studies, Management, Education, Medicine, Law, Homeopathy, Engineering and Technology, and Pharmaceutical Sciences. Exact department and affiliated-college counts could not be resolved during this research, since multiple conflicting figures appear across sources with no single authoritative current number confirmed.

Undergraduate admission and most postgraduate admission run through GCAS (Gujarat Common Admission System), the state's own centralised portal, not CUET. Some postgraduate admission and specific professional undergraduate courses run through the university's own portal or separate entrance exams; PhD admission requires UGC-NET qualification.
