Veer Narmad South Gujarat University

Veer Narmad South Gujarat University in Surat, established in 1965 and named after the Gujarati poet Narmad, is the affiliating state university for south Gujarat — the degree behind most colleges from Surat down to the state's southern edge. Its own campus departments and city colleges cover an unusually broad undergraduate range: arts subjects such as English, economics, history and political science, the sciences including physics, chemistry and computer science, plus commerce, law and computer applications, all at government-scale fees; it holds UGC recognition and an A grade from NAAC. Surat is the compelling context — one of India's fastest-growing commercial cities, dominant in diamonds and textiles, with abundant part-time and family-business opportunity and low unemployment. It suits students of the region who want an affordable, recognised degree while staying inside Surat's vigorous economy rather than migrating to Ahmedabad or beyond.
