Parul University is a private university in Vadodara, Gujarat, India.[4][5] Prior to its incorporation as Parul University under the Gujarat Private Universities Act Second Amendment of 2009,[6] the university’s origins traces back to 1993, with the establishment of the Ahmedabad Homeopathic College.[7] Parul University is situated on a 150-acre campus in Vadodara housing over 50,000 students and has a rich history of achievements, including being Gujarat’s first self-financed institute.[8][9] Since inception, the university adopted an expansionist strategy that led to the establishment of campuses beyond its original location in Ahmedabad to cities such as Rajkot [10] and culminated in Vadodara in 2003,[11] where the main campus was subsequently established and further plans to expand in North India by opening its career counselling centre in Chandigarh.[12]

The university is also commitment to community welfare, particularly in healthcare, organising various health camps.[13] In 2009, it established Parul Sevashram Hospital (PSH) NABH accrediated,[14] a teaching hospital known for providing quality, subsidized medical care to local communities and people from various parts of India.[15]

The university hosts 2,000 international students representing 56 different nationalities.[16][17] In 2023, Parul University achieved a significant milestone by becoming the youngest university in India to receive a Grade A++ accreditation from the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC).[18] Dr. Devanshu Patel, the current president of the university emphasises on fostering entrepreneurship and innovation.[19] Parul University was ranked among the top 50 universities by NIRF Innovation Rankings 2023 for innovation.[20] The university has 32 institutes that offer over 450 UG, PG, diploma, and PhD programmes.[21]
