These top rankings and ratings secured by all 6 of PU’s ayush institutes, is a testament to its commitment towards providing the highest standards of quality in ayurvedic and homeopathy medicine and education. The NCISM and QCI standards, evaluate the institutes’ quality mechanism through parameters such as infrastructure and resources, research, teaching practices and innovation among other quality mechanisms, under which all the ayurveda institutes under PU secured high ratings. Over the years, the University has made significant efforts dedicated towards reinforcing its ayurvedic medical training, by providing the highest standards of excellence through effective clinical training with the support of its NABH accredited teaching hospitals. “As PU, we have been committed towards shaping and nurturing the finest practitioners in ayurved medicine.

I believe this national ranking will allow us to further advance this agenda” said the University’s Vice President and Medical Director, Dr. Komal Patel.

In the field of homeopathy, the University, through its four institutes, has created a leading ecosystem of quality medical training in the field.
