Making its entry for the first time in the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) top 100 institutes in the overall rankings, Gujarat University (GU), Ahmedabad has ranked 60 with a score of 47.10.

For the first time, a public university in Gujarat has made its place in top 100 NIRF 2020 rankings in the overall category announced  by Minister of Human Resource Development, Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’. Also, under the university category, GU ranked 44 with a score of 48.21, again the only university from Gujarat, this year.

State Education Minister Bhupendrasinh Chudasama said, “Since the time I became education minister I had this in mind why any of our universities in Gujarat are not in top 100 and 200 world rankings… This (entry in top 100) happened because of teamwork and is a great achievement…”

“Three years ago we came between 150 and 200. Last year, we were between 101 and 150. But this year we have entered the top 100… When I joined as the vice-chancellor three years back, education minister Bhupendrasinh Chudasama had expressed his desire to see the university in top 100,” said former vice-chancellor of Gujarat University Himanshu Pandya, the 17th VC of GU whose tenure ended on May 17, 2020. At present Pro-VC Jagdish Bhavsar has been given the charge.
