Where the numbers come from
Everything below is somebody else's record.
The recognition below is the UGC's and the rank is NIRF's.

NIRF 2025

NAAC accreditation
NAAC publishes its own list of institutions holding a valid accreditation. On that list, as on 14 August 2025, this institution is recorded as follows.
| Name on the NAAC list | MAHARISHI MARKANDESHWAR (DEEMED TO BE UNIVERSITY), MULLANA-AMBALA |
|---|---|
| AISHE code | U-0168 |
| Grade | A++ |
| CGPA | 3.53 |
| Cycle | 2 |
| Date of declaration | 21 December 2021 |
A NAAC grade is not permanent. It is awarded for a fixed term and has to be renewed, so the date of declaration above is the figure a family paying several years of fees actually needs, and it is the one a brochure rarely carries. We print the record as NAAC states it and draw no conclusion from it. If the institution holds a more recent record, it can write to us and we will update this page.

Each filing above is a PDF the institution itself sent to the government.

If anybody promises you a seat, the promise has to fit inside those numbers.
Four things this page cannot settle
A record is a starting point, not a verdict.
Recognition and rank say nothing about what your family pays or what your degree is worth. Each of these has its own page, written once and kept current.

Questions people actually ask
What a family wants to know about Maharishi Markandeshwar.
Is Maharishi Markandeshwar recognised by the UGC?
Yes. Maharishi Markandeshwar appears at entry 270 on the University Grants Commission's consolidated list of universities, the list as published on 25.01.2023. It is recorded there as a deemed to be university in Ambala, Haryana. It has been recognised since 12.06.2007. Recognition on that list is what makes a degree from it valid. CollegeJaancho publishes the UGC's record and adds no rating of its own.
Is Maharishi Markandeshwar a fake university?
No. The UGC publishes a state-wise list of fake universities, meaning institutions operating without the authority to award a degree. Maharishi Markandeshwar is not on that list. It is on the UGC's list of recognised universities instead, at entry 270. Those are two separate UGC documents, and both are linked from this page.

Its strongest position is Pharmacy at rank 26. NIRF ranks only the institutions that submitted data for a given field, so absence from a table is usually a missing submission rather than a mark against the institution. Every rank on this page links to the institution's own filing.

On NAAC's own list of institutions holding a valid accreditation, as on 14 August 2025, this institution is recorded with grade A++, CGPA 3.53, cycle 2, declared 21 December 2021. A NAAC grade is awarded for a fixed term and has to be renewed, so the date of declaration matters as much as the letter.

Open two documents, both linked on this page. The UGC consolidated list of universities carries the recognition at entry 270. The institution's own NIRF 2025 filing carries its Sanctioned (Approved) Intake, the real seat count for every programme across six years, with student strength, faculty count and expenditure beside it. If a promise about a seat does not fit inside those numbers, the institution cannot keep it.
