The Bhupal Nobles' institutions in Udaipur grew out of educational efforts initiated during the princely era of Mewar, with the Vidya Pracharini Sabha serving as the parent society that has since run a cluster of colleges covering arts, science, commerce, law, education, agriculture, physical education and pharmacy. The university was constituted to bring these constituent colleges under a single private university framework recognised by the Government of Rajasthan.
The university offers undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral programmes through faculties spanning the humanities, sciences, social sciences, commerce and management, education, law, agriculture, and professional disciplines. Its constituent colleges in Udaipur form the core of its teaching and research activity.
The university is based in Udaipur, a city in southern Rajasthan known as a regional centre for education and tourism in the Mewar region. The campus continues the heritage of the older Bhupal Nobles' College complex within the city.
As one of the private universities in Rajasthan, Bhupal Nobles University contributes to higher education access in the Mewar region, drawing students from Udaipur and surrounding districts. Its lineage through the Vidya Pracharini Sabha links it to one of the older educational movements in the former princely state.
