As a state private university, its degrees are recognised within the Indian higher education system, and it operates under the broader oversight of the University Grants Commission (UGC). The campus is situated in the Chittorgarh region, an area historically associated with the kingdom of Mewar and its capitals at Chittor and Udaipur.
The university is organised into faculties and departments covering professional and academic streams. Programmes typically offered at such multi-disciplinary private universities in Rajasthan include:
The university also admits research scholars for doctoral (Ph.D.) work across these disciplines.
Chittorgarh, where the university is based, lies in southern Rajasthan and is well known for the Chittorgarh Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The district is connected by rail and the national highway network to major Rajasthani cities including Udaipur, Ajmer and Jaipur, which contributes to the university's accessibility for students from across the state and beyond.
Mewar University is part of a wider expansion of private higher education in Rajasthan, a state that has enacted legislation enabling several private universities since the mid-2000s. Institutions of this kind have contributed to broadening access to professional and technical education outside the traditional metropolitan centres of India.
