What Hemchandracharya North Gujarat University does

Hemchandracharya North Gujarat University (HNGU) is a public state university established in 1986 and governed by the Government of Gujarat under the Gujarat Public Universities Act. Headquartered in Patan, Gujarat, with a sub-center in Vadali, it serves as the primary degree-granting institution for the North Gujarat region across more than a dozen disciplines including Arts, Commerce, Science, Law, Management, Education, Medicine, Computer Science, and Vocational courses. The university operates a hub-and-spoke model through a network of affiliated colleges and a centralized admission system (GCAS) covering PG, B.Ed., M.Ed., LL.B., and LL.M. programs, with admissions for the 2026-2027 academic year currently in progress.

The university's technology platform consists of administrative and academic infrastructure rather than commercial products: a GCAS admission portal, an ERP portal (erp.ngu.ac.in), an online examination and result management system, and an official mobile application available on both Android and iOS. The Central Library holds 92,664 books, 2,776 Ph.D. theses, 3,523 periodical volumes, 112 current periodicals, and 1,258 audio-visual materials, with digital access through Delnet, UGC Infonet, INFLIBNET, IEEE, and ACS Journal of Chemical Education. HNGU is accredited by NAAC with a 'B' Grade (CGPA 2.21) and holds international academic collaborations with universities in the USA and UK dated primarily to 2008-2011.

As a government state entity, HNGU's revenue model is anchored in state government grants, UGC funding, and affiliated college fees, with only nominal ancillary fees disclosed for certificates and services (e.g., Rs 100 for migration certificates, Rs 200 for transcripts, Rs 100-500 for duplicate marksheets). The institution does not have external private investors or shareholders; governance is provided by the Executive Council, Academic Council, Board of Management, and Vice Chancellor Dr. K. C. Poria, with the university statutes most recently updated in May 2025.
