In 2025, Uttarakhand’s higher education sector grew rapidly with the opening of several new universities across the state. These include both private universities and government universities, giving students more opportunities for higher studies. Here is a carefully prepared list of the newly established universities in Uttarakhand in 2025, along with their locations and important highlights for students, parents, and academic professionals.
In February 2025, the Uttarakhand Legislative Assembly approved the Private Universities Amendment Bill 2025, which has cleared the way for the establishment of four new private universities in Uttarakhand. These upcoming universities are under construction and are expected to boost higher education opportunities in the state.
