History

Jai Narain Vyas University is the second university in the state of Rajasthan. The Jodhpur University Act (Act XVII), enacted by the state legislature for the Unitary Teaching University,[ clarification needed ] combined the state colleges Jaswant and Shri Maharaj Kumar College (Faculty of Commerce campus, Faculty of Law, Institute of Evening Studies, and undergraduate Faculty of Arts campus), New Campus, and Kamla Nehru Girls College (multi-faculty constituent college campus). Shah Goverdhan Lal Kabra Teachers' College, a formerly private university, has joined JNVU since. The university received University Grants Commission (UGC) recognition as a university on 14 July 1962 and Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan opened the university on 24 August 1962. Jaswant and Shri Maharaj Kumar Colleges were converted into the Faculties of Arts, Commerce, Law, Science, and Social Sciences, while M.B.M. and Kamla Nehru retained their identities.[ citation needed ] In 2021, M.B.M. became an independent institution.
