Uka Tarsadia University

Uka Tarsadia University at Bardoli, established in 2011, is a private university rooted in south Gujarat's community education tradition — it grew from the long-running colleges of the local education trust at Bardoli, the historic town of Sardar Patel's satyagraha. Its teaching is engineering-led, with computer science, electronics, mechanical and electrical branches, under UGC recognition and an A grade from NAAC. The practical geography matters: Bardoli sits a short distance from Surat, one of India's fastest-growing commercial cities, so students combine small-town living costs and a self-contained campus with access to Surat's diamond, textile and expanding IT economy for internships and jobs. Admissions are accessible relative to Gujarat's government seats, with fees at moderate private levels. It suits students of south Gujarat who want a regional private university with an established local trust behind it, close to home and to Surat's job market.
