Singhania University functions as a self-financed private institution and confers undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral degrees.
The university organises its teaching through faculties and departments covering areas such as:
Programmes are offered at certificate, diploma, bachelor's, master's, and doctoral levels. Admission to most programmes is conducted by the university itself, with eligibility based on prior qualifying examinations.
Singhania University is part of a broader expansion of private higher education in Rajasthan during the 2000s, when the state enacted laws permitting the creation of self-financed universities to widen access to professional and technical education outside the major urban centres. Its location in Jhunjhunu district contributes to higher-education availability in the largely semi-arid Shekhawati region.
