New Delhi, November 29, 2023 : Marwadi University (MU) is proud to announce that it has now become one of India’s youngest universities to receive the prestigious ‘A+’ accreditation from the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC). Incepted as Marwadi Education Foundation Group of Institutions in 2009, and achieving state private university status in 2016 granted by the Govt of Gujarat, Marwadi University achieved the coveted accreditation post an extensive on-site inspection and detailed report submitted to an esteemed seven member visiting committee.
The accreditation process evaluates various aspects, including the quality of teaching, learning, research, infrastructure, governance, and overall academic performance.

Prof. (Dr) Sandeep Sancheti, Vice-Chancellor, Marwadi University, Rajkot expressed his delight on this momentous occasion saying, “It is a proud moment for all of us at Marwadi University to be graded A+ by NAAC. Receiving the status of Center of Excellence by Gujarat Government and the added feather of NAAC A+ at a young age of 7, is a testament of our vision and relentless efforts in the direction of delivering quality higher education.
