Parul University

Parul University is a large private university at Waghodia on the eastern edge of Vadodara, established in 2015, and it has grown quickly into one of Gujarat's biggest multi-disciplinary campuses, drawing a notably international and pan-Indian student body. It holds an A++ grade from NAAC and a NIRF rank of 40. Engineering is a major part of its offering, with computer science the dominant choice, and the campus model is residential and self-contained, with academic blocks, hostels and services in one township. Vadodara is a mid-sized, affordable city with a strong industrial belt around it, useful for internships in manufacturing and engineering services. Admission is through the university's own process alongside national scores, at moderate private fee levels. It suits students who want an accessible, amenity-rich private campus rather than a selective institution.
