Gujarat University

Gujarat University is an affiliating University at the undergraduate level, while it is a teaching one at the post-graduate level. Indeed, the responsibility for post-graduate instruction has been statutorily given to the University, and accordingly, it has evolved a plan of co-ordinated instruction under the direct control and supervision of the University so as to ensure efficient and diversified instruction. An important feature of this University is the system of external examinations in the Faculties of Arts and Commerce, both and under-graduate and post-graduate levels. The external examinations were introduced to enable working students and others who could not afford the high cost of university education to realize their dream.
Gujarat University has developed phenomenally in the last 67 years to be recognized as a premier university today. It provides education in one of the widest range of disciplines to about two lakh students.
