Banasthali Vidyapith is India’s largest fully residential NAAC A++ accredited (CGPA 3.63) all-women deemed-to-be university, nestled in the serene Aravalli ranges of Rajasthan. Founded on 6 October 1935 and granted deemed university status in 1983, it is recognised by the UGC and approved by AICTE, NCTE, PCI, BCI and COA.

The university operates a single, expansive 850-acre residential campus at Banasthali in Tonk district, near Jaipur, housing over 15,000 women students. Uniquely, it runs its own licensed airfield where students can train in flying and gliding — a rare feature among Indian universities. The campus offers smart classrooms, modern laboratories, well-stocked libraries, hostels, sports complexes and dedicated innovation and research centres.
