Sumandeep Vidyapeeth

How is Sumandeep Vidyapeeth ranked in 2026?

Sumandeep Vidyapeeth, the NAAC A++ deemed-to-be university at Piparia, Waghodia, Vadodara, is ranked in the 151-200 band of the NIRF University category (its latest published 2025 standing carried into the 2026 admission cycle) and was placed at Rank #36 among Deemed-to-be Universities by Outlook in 2024. It is not an IIT or a top-50 NIRF university; rather, it is a health-sciences-focused deemed university whose strongest external recognition comes from Outlook's deemed-university league table and from being one of only a handful of Gujarat institutions holding the highest NAAC grade (A++, CGPA 3.61 out of 4). For an aspirant, the practical read is that Sumandeep Vidyapeeth sits in the second tier of Indian universities by NIRF but earns clearer distinction in subject-specific and deemed-university listings, particularly in medical, dental, ayurveda and pharmacy education.

Year-Wise Rankings

The table below consolidates every verifiable ranking achieved by Sumandeep Vidyapeeth across NIRF and Outlook from 2021 to 2025, the data underpinning its 2026 standing. It answers the core question: which body ranked Sumandeep Vidyapeeth, in which category, and where exactly it landed each year. Read it body-by-body, because NIRF reports the university in 100-place bands (so no single integer score is published for band placements), while Outlook gives an exact integer rank within a fixed pool of deemed universities. Where NIRF does not disclose an individual score for a banded institution, the table marks it as not disclosed rather than inventing a figure.

The clearest takeaway is that Sumandeep Vidyapeeth's best documented result is the Outlook 2024 Deemed-to-be University Rank #36, a modest improvement from #37 in 2022 and #42 in 2021. Equally notable is its Outlook 2024 Ayurveda Rank #7 of 20, where it ranks far higher in subject terms than in the broad university field, signalling that its health-sciences programmes, not generalist metrics, are its real strength. The NIRF University picture is flatter: a 101-150 band in 2021-2022 followed by a steady 151-200 band placement through 2023, 2024 and 2025.

Ranking Trajectory of Sumandeep Vidyapeeth

Sumandeep Vidyapeeth's ranking trajectory tells two different stories depending on the scorecard. On NIRF's University list, the university slipped from the 101-150 band in 2021 and 2022 down to the 151-200 band, where it has remained for three consecutive cycles (2023, 2024 and 2025). That downward step of one band reflects the intensifying competition on NIRF's research-and-perception-heavy parameters, where larger multidisciplinary universities tend to pull ahead of single-domain health-sciences institutions. In plain terms, Sumandeep Vidyapeeth has held its ground rather than climbed on NIRF over the last three years.

On Outlook's Deemed-to-be University ranking, however, the movement is upward: from Rank #42 (of 45) in 2021, to #37 (of 40) in 2022, to #36 (of 40) in 2024. That is a six-place gain over three years and a meaningful one within a small, tightly contested deemed-university pool. The standout signal for 2026 applicants is the Outlook 2024 Ayurveda Rank #7 of 20, which places the university in the top tier of its specialist field even as its generalist NIRF band stays flat. The honest interpretation: Sumandeep Vidyapeeth is improving where it is measured as a focused health-sciences university and holding steady where it is judged against all-purpose universities.

How Sumandeep Vidyapeeth Compares

Compared with its peers, Sumandeep Vidyapeeth is a mid-pack deemed university nationally but a credentialed leader within Gujarat's private health-sciences space. Its Outlook 2024 Rank #36 of 40 deemed universities places it in the lower-middle of that specific league, behind the long-established medical deemed universities of southern and western India that routinely occupy Outlook's top 10, but clearly ranked and recognised rather than unlisted. Where it draws genuine separation from many Gujarat peers is accreditation: its NAAC A++ grade with a CGPA of 3.61 out of 4 is reported as the highest in Gujarat, a distinction most state and private competitors in the region do not hold.

For a candidate weighing options, the useful comparison is by purpose. On the broad NIRF University ladder, Sumandeep Vidyapeeth's 151-200 band sits below India's top multidisciplinary universities, so it is not the pick for a research-prestige-first applicant. But in subject-specific terms, its Outlook 2024 Ayurveda Rank #7 of 20 and its full statutory approvals (NMC, DCI, PCI, INC, UGC) put it ahead of many unranked or non-A++ private health-sciences colleges. The defensible conclusion: Sumandeep Vidyapeeth compares best when judged as a dedicated medical, dental, ayurveda and pharmacy university rather than against generalist national universities.
