Charotar University of Science and Technology

Charotar University of Science and Technology, known as CHARUSAT, was established in 2009 at Changa in the Charotar belt of central Gujarat, between Anand and the Ahmedabad–Vadodara corridor. It grew out of a cluster of institutes built by local educational trusts, and engineering remains its core, with computer science the most sought-after branch. The university holds an A+ grade from NAAC, and it has cultivated a reputation within Gujarat for disciplined academics and steady placement into the state's industrial and IT employers. The campus is self-contained in a rural setting, with Anand and Nadiad nearby and the big cities an hour or two away — living costs stay low as a result. It suits Gujarati students who want a serious, well-run private technical university within the state rather than a metro-brand alternative.
