About College
The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda is in Vadodara, Gujarat.
The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda is in Vadodara, Gujarat. Its origins lie in Baroda College, established in 1881 by the Baroda State, whose main building in Indo-Saracenic style still houses the Faculty of Arts. Pratap Singh Gaekwad, the last Maharaja of the erstwhile Baroda State, founded the university in 1949 on the wishes of his grandfather Sayajirao Gaekwad III, and settled the Sir Sayajirao Diamond Jubilee and Memorial Trust, which exists to date.
