Universities in Udaipur – The Campuses

Though Udaipur has been basically known for its tourism & cultural wealth but seeing the growing number of colleges in the city & a lot of outsiders getting attracted to study in a peaceful environment, here are a little details about the Universities in Udaipur.

 

Mohan Lal Sukhadia University:

mlsu udaipur

The biggest university in South Rajasthan with its 4 constituent campus colleges as University College of Social Sciences & Humanities, University College of Science, University College of Commerce & Management Studies and University College of Law along with the Faculty of Management Studies. The broad green campus has a life in itself. Low fees, large infrastructure, high class faculties, regular visits by dignitaries and day to day national & international seminars are the major attractions in this University. Having completed its Golden Jubilee Year, MLSU has been seeing a complete rejuvenation now leaving behind the slow years of the previous decade. The appointment of Assistant Professors in the current session has brought in its own kind of freshness in the campus programmes. Student politics is given a fair importance & it has turned out to be a good platform to start one’s political career as well as grow students’ political consciousness. Apart from the colossal number of affiliations, MLSU is also the current location of the prestigious Indian Institute of Management.

Maharana Pratap University of Agriculture and Technology:

mpuat udaipur

Less colleges but more quality. College of Technology & Engineering, College of Dairy & Food Science Technology, Rajasthan College of Agriculture, College of Fisheries & College of Home Science constitute the University in Udaipur (College of Horticulture & Forestry is located in Jhalawar). CTAE & CDFST have made a good name with their regular placement record with prestigious firms. College of Fisheries & RCA dwell upon excellence in the innovative & limited-market careers. CTAE, situated within the MLSU has one of the most beautiful campuses in the area with well maintained buildings and scattered departments in the greenery.

Indian Institute of Management:

iim udaipur

An IIM in Udaipur, a compensation for the demands of IIT brings promising returns. Though there are no direct admission benefits to Udaipur students (for obvious reasons!) but this institute will indirectly help a lot in the growth of industrial sector & improvement in the management & management education standards. First batch yet to pass out next year but as all know, be it any IIM; it creates a brand in itself.

Pacific University:

pacific university udaipur

The private University that has attracted the most number of students from surrounding areas & Gujarat in the recent years… With already 3 engineering colleges along with the same number of management colleges, the place has become the very first choice for average students opting professional courses. Though the placements provided aren’t too huge but at the time when some colleges are leaving their technical graduates with lost hopes, providing a job from campus without much workload is in itself a good sign. The campus is close to city. But with a large number of colleges rapidly established, expecting a big & maintained college building may disappoint you.

Geetanjali Medical College:

geetanjali medical college

With the first batch yet to come up with their MBBS degrees, the grand campus of GMCH is visibly clear from most parts of Udaipur. Having faced admission related criticism in its first year, the College is now on a smooth function. Though students still complain of lack of impartment of practical knowledge but seeing it as an establishing college, we can accept it as a fundamental shake down.

Sir Padampat Singhania University:

singhania university

University for the rich yet carries a risk. Campus situated on Chittorgarh route with courses offered in engineering & management. With a full mandatory residential programme, the establishment of this University took place 6 years back. Be it placement or faculty issues, the density of controversial rumors has been on a wide ground from this campus.

 Janardan Rai Nagar Rajasthan Vidhyapeeth University:

jrnrvu udaipur

The deemed University was last year on the verge of its recognition cancellation. Offering courses in Homeopathy, Physiotherapy, Social Sciences, Commerce, Management, Computers & Technology; the campus of JRNRVU lies outside Pratap Nagar. Relatively old establishment but not taken as a favorite option by most of the students.

——————————————————————————————————————————————

Apart from these on-campus colleges, there are numerous other colleges too in the city affiliated to the above mentioned Universities or RTU & RUHS. Udaipur as a city presents a hub of academic education; the need of the time is to update the quality to the metro standards leaving behind the notions of theoretical emphasis.

IIM-U welcomes Vedanta resources chairman, Mr. Anil Agarwal

Anil Agarwal IIM Udaipur

Mr. Anil Agarwal, founder and chairman of Vedanta resources visited the IIM Udaipur campus to interact with the students. He was accompanied by Mr. Akhilesh Joshi – CEO Hindustan Zinc Ltd., Mr. A. Thiru – HR head, Vedanta Resources, Ms. Queenie Dhody – renowned columnist and socialite, and Mr. Zafar, an oil and gas entrepreneur from Oman.

Mr. Agarwal spoke about his life as an entrepreneur and how he has built the $ 50 billion Vedanta group into one of the largest natural resources groups in the world. He encouraged the students to become entrepreneurs or work in a company which allows entrepreneurial ideas to flourish. He said that the students should learn from the people of Rajasthan, who are hardworking and business-minded yet have their head firmly on their shoulders.

In a lively and interactive Q&A session with the students, Mr. Agarwal went on to talk about social upliftment and the CSR activities which the Vedanta group has undertaken as part of socially inclusive development of their mining sites. He also spoke about his possible retirement in the next 3-4 years, his interest in eradicating child malnutrition, developing the higher education system in India and the opening of Vedanta University – at par with Ivy League universities.

Mr. Agarwal also spoke about India becoming self-sufficient in the field of natural resources and energy and exhorted the students to work towards stopping India from becoming an import based economy. He said that this can be done by utilising our natural resources more efficiently and manufacturing using our own facilities instead of importing goods.

The session ended with Ms. Queenie Dhody expressing her happiness on seeing the gender diversity amongst the students of IIM Udaipur.

The interaction was a great learning experience for the students who got an opportunity to be inspired by a self-made man such as Mr. Agarwal.

IIM Udaipur conducts tree plantation drive on Gandhi Jayanti

The earth, the air, the land and the water are not an inheritance from our forefathers but on loan from our children. So we have to handover to them at least as it was handed over to us.

-Mahatma Gandhi

With these thoughts in mind, the IIMU family set out on a tree-plantation drive in their upcoming campus in Balicha, to commemorate Gandhi Jayanti. Continuing the trend started last year, by the pioneer batch, a troupe of about hundred PGP students led by Prof. Janat Shah, Director, IIMU, planted more than 130 trees on the 250 acre site where the IIMU campus will be built. The huge site was mostly barren till last year, having only seven trees. Thanks to the green drive, the mountainous terrain is now dotted with numerous plants of Neem, Amaltas, Mango, Banyan, Peepal, Amla and other varieties.

iimu campus balicha

IIMU aims to create socially responsible leaders, and being eco-friendly is a part of the IIMU DNA. Prof. Janat Shah leads by example and cycles his way to the institute and back every day. The students too use only cycles within the campus which is temporary and is currently operating out of Mohan Lal Sukhadia University, Udaipur (MLSU). Taking inspiration from this, MLSU authorities have declared every second Saturday of the month as no-vehicle day in the entire campus. The new campus of IIMU located outside the city is proposed to be water-neutral. IIMU plans to involve the student body as well as the citizens of Udaipur in making its new campus an icon of excellence.

Through today’s event, the students felt intimately connected with nature in their efforts of building a greener campus. Special arrangements were made to ensure that no poly-bags or litter was strewn around. Prayatna, the social club of IIMU, organized a photography competition wherein the students captured the picturesque landscape where the youngest IIM of the country will take shape. The stretch of land is approximately 9kms in perimeter and is situated right next to NH8. Although the classes are expected to run in the permanent campus after 2015, the students were excited at the prospect of returning to a beautiful campus a few years after they graduate. The seeds of social and environmental responsibility sown at Indian Institute of Management, Udaipur shall certainly bear fruit in the near future.

IIM-U students conduct Cycle run to spread the Green message in Udaipur

cyclothon iim udaipur

In the wee hours of the morning, a group of 23 IIM Udaipur students went ahead to ride their bicyles around the slyvan surroundings of the lake city. The event Cyclothon had the motto to increase awareness among the denizens of Udaipur about the increasing levels of pollution as well as the benefits of cycling. The students started off from the campus and went upto the Fateh Sagar lake. The 20 km route then went around the scenic Rani road and through Fatehpura to finally end at the campus. The enthusiasm of the students was exceptional as some of them completed it without taking a halt, that too within 50 mins.

IIM Udaipur has since its inception believed in caring for nature. Keeping this in mind the institute has ensured that the campus is entirely pollution free. Students are encouraged to use bicycles and keeping motorized vehicles is prohibited. In fact even the director of the institute Prof. Janat Shah leads by example, and prefers to cycle his way to the office almost everyday. The new 250-acre campus of the premier management institute that is coming up in Balicha region in the midst of the hills of Udaipur is going to be water neutral and eco-friendly.

Gudakesh, a final year student of PGPM of the institute, said, “Udaipur is a beautiful city and it is our duty to ensure that it remains so. But sadly nothing much is being done about it. The pollution level is increasing by the day. Although there are a lot of measures that can be taken up, we should try and take the initiative ourself. Cycling not only ensures that you remain fit and healthy but it also ensures that we don’t burn fuel when it is not necessary. At least for the daily errands, one can easily cover a distance of 4-5 kms each day as our Director, Prof. Shah does. We just need to give it a try. The environment needs care and if we don’t do something about it, then who else will.”
