Manipal University Jaipur (MUJ) is a private university in Jaipur, Rajasthan, established in 2011 as part of the Manipal Education and Medical Group (MEMG) — the group that also runs Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE, Karnataka), Sikkim Manipal University, Manipal International University (Malaysia) and the American University of Antigua. MUJ was launched on an invitation from the Government of Rajasthan and operates as a self-financed State Private University, established under a dedicated Act of the Rajasthan State Legislature (Act No. 21 of 2011) and recognised by the UGC under Section 22 of the UGC Act, 1956.
Establishment & Founding
Manipal University Jaipur was set up in 2011, extending the Manipal Education Group's more than six-decade history in higher education into Rajasthan. Being part of the wider Manipal group gives MUJ access to a shared academic framework, cross-campus faculty exchange, and an alumni and industry network spanning the group's institutions across India, Malaysia and the Caribbean.
Location
The permanent MUJ campus is built on land at Dehmi Kalan village, off the Jaipur-Ajmer Expressway, near the GVK Toll Plaza — roughly 30 km from central Jaipur.
- •The location keeps the university within reach of Jaipur city while providing enough land for a large, self-contained residential campus, a layout common across Manipal group institutions.
- •It sits within Rajasthan's fast-growing private higher-education corridor, alongside other institutions along the Jaipur-Ajmer stretch.
University Type
MUJ is a UGC-recognised State Private University, with the authority to design its own academic programmes and award degrees, operating within the regulatory framework of UGC along with the discipline-specific statutory councils — AICTE for engineering and management, the Bar Council of India (BCI) for law, the Council of Architecture (COA) for architecture, and the Pharmacy Council of India (PCI) for pharmacy.
Recognition & Accreditation
Manipal University Jaipur holds a NAAC A+ grade. Its individual programmes carry separate statutory approvals from the relevant council for that discipline. The university also appears in the NIRF rankings across the University, Engineering, Management, Law and Architecture categories, and in the QS Asia and Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings bands.

Fees at MUJ vary by programme, specialisation and admission cycle. Across UG and PG programmes, total tuition figures reported by aggregators range from roughly ₹1.4 lakh (BCA, lower band) to over ₹19 lakh (B.Tech CSE) for the full course duration.

Tuition Fee

MUJ offers on-campus, gender-segregated hostel accommodation, billed separately from tuition. Additional charges may include a caution deposit (refundable on completion of the programme), a registration fee (non-refundable) and other one-time admission charges.
Approximate Total Cost
For a B.Tech student living on campus, total cost includes tuition, hostel and other charges, pushing the effective total meaningfully above the tuition-only figures quoted by most aggregators. Because fee structures change every admission cycle, students should confirm the latest figures directly with MUJ's admissions office.
Admission Process
Admission begins with an online application on the official MUJ admissions portal. Depending on the programme, selection considers the university's own Manipal Entrance Test (MET), a national-level entrance exam score, or Class 12/graduation merit, sometimes followed by a personal interview or portfolio round.
Eligibility Criteria
- •B.Tech: Class 12 pass with Physics, Mathematics and one optional subject, generally requiring a minimum aggregate around 50% for general category (verify current cycle's exact bar)
- •BCA / BBA / BA / B.Com: Class 12 pass in any relevant stream, admission generally merit-based
- •B.Arch: Class 12 pass with Mathematics, plus a valid NATA or JEE Main Paper 2 score
- •MBA: Graduation with a minimum aggregate (typically around 50%), plus a valid CAT/MAT/XAT/NMAT/CMAT score
- •M.Tech: B.Tech/B.E. with a minimum aggregate, GATE preferred
- •LLM: LLB degree with the minimum aggregate specified for the admission cycle
Application Process
Candidates fill in the online application on the MUJ admissions portal, upload required documents, pay the application fee, and appear for the relevant entrance test (MET or equivalent) or submit a valid score from an accepted national-level exam.
Entrance Exams & Selection Criteria
Depending on the course, MUJ accepts MET (its own test), JEE Main, CUET, CAT/MAT/XAT/NMAT/CMAT (MBA), CLAT/LSAT (Law), NATA (Architecture), and GATE (M.Tech/PhD). Several UG programmes (BBA, BCA, BA, B.Com) admit directly on Class 12 merit, sometimes with a personal interview or English comprehension test.
Important Dates
The MUJ admission cycle typically runs from around January through August, with the academic session usually commencing in late July or early August. Dates for MET, and the deadlines tied to exams like CAT, CLAT, NATA, GATE and CMAT, shift every year — always check the official admissions portal for the current cycle's schedule.
