Jiwaji University Rankings
Jiwaji University holds NAAC A++ grade, awarded in April 2023. This is the highest possible NAAC grade and is valid until 2028. The university does not appear in the NIRF 2025 University top-100 list. Rankings from international and national ranking bodies are listed below.
| Ranking Body | Category | Rank / Band (2025) |
|---|---|---|
| NAAC | Accreditation | A++ (valid until 2028) |
| NIRF 2025 | University | Outside top 100 |
| Education World | India Rankings | 77 |
| QS India | University | 86 to 90 band |
Jiwaji University’s NAAC A++ is its most distinctive ranking credential for 2025. This grade reflects strong performance across teaching-learning, research, infrastructure, and governance parameters. For a state government university in central India, the NAAC A++ differentiates Jiwaji from the majority of Madhya Pradesh state universities, most of which hold NAAC B or B++ grades.
Jiwaji University Scholarships
Jiwaji University students at own-campus Schools of Studies are eligible for government scholarships as well as university merit concessions. Affiliated college students access the same central government schemes through MP Online.
| Scholarship Scheme | Beneficiary Category | Coverage |
|---|---|---|
| National Scholarship Portal (NSP) Post-Matric | SC/ST/OBC/Minority students | Full or partial tuition fee waiver + maintenance allowance |
| MP Scholarship Portal Schemes | SC/ST/OBC students domiciled in MP | Tuition fee and stipend as per state norms |
| Vikramaditya Scholarship (MP State) | General category students below APL income limit | Tuition fee waiver for approved UG programmes |
| University Merit Concession | Class 12 state board toppers (SoS UG) | Partial fee concession as announced annually |
| Sports Quota | National/State sports achievers | Supernumerary seats with fee concession |
Students are advised to apply for all applicable scholarships through the National Scholarship Portal and MP Scholarship Portal before the annual deadline (typically October to December). Given that the majority of Jiwaji SoS and affiliated college fees are below INR 30,000 total, the government scholarship coverage effectively makes most programmes cost-neutral for eligible SC/ST/OBC students.

Jiwaji University vs DAVV Indore vs Barkatullah University Bhopal
Aspirants and families in Madhya Pradesh often compare the three largest state public affiliating universities of MP: Jiwaji University in Gwalior, Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya (DAVV) in Indore, and Barkatullah University in Bhopal. All three are state government universities established in the 1960s, offering a similar range of undergraduate, postgraduate, law, management, and professional programmes through their own departments and affiliated colleges.
| Parameter | Jiwaji University, Gwalior | DAVV, Indore | Barkatullah University, Bhopal |
|---|---|---|---|
| Established | 1964 | 1964 | 1970 |
| NAAC Grade | A++ (2023) | A+ (2023) | B++ (2023) |
| NIRF University 2025 | Outside top 100 | 151-200 band | Outside top 200 |
| Campus Area | 225 acres | 700+ acres (multiple campuses) | 250+ acres |
| Affiliated Colleges | 420+ | 600+ | 600+ |
| MBA Total Fees (SoS) | INR 13,200 to 27,020 | INR 50,000 to 65,000 | INR 18,000 to 30,000 |
| BPharm Total Fees | INR 57,700 to 63,000 | INR 60,000 to 80,000 | INR 50,000 to 60,000 |
| City / Regional Strength | Gwalior and Chambal division | Indore and Malwa region | Bhopal and Narmada division |
Jiwaji University’s key advantage over DAVV and Barkatullah is its NAAC A++ grade, which is the highest among the three. DAVV Indore, while ranked in the NIRF 151-200 University band, has a higher NIRF visibility and a stronger engineering-management reputation in Indore. Barkatullah University in Bhopal is in the state capital and offers proximity to government sector employment. For aspirants in Gwalior and the Chambal belt specifically, Jiwaji University’s own-campus Schools of Studies remain the strongest local option for affordable PG education with pharmacy, law, and management specialisations. DAVV is the preferred choice for aspirants targeting the Indore industry cluster, especially in management and commerce. Barkatullah University serves the Bhopal and Bhopal-division aspirant base.
