The process generally involves these key steps:
1. Government Approvals: You'll first need to obtain necessary approvals and clearances from the Rajasthan government's higher education department. This often includes land acquisition, building plans, and meeting various infrastructure requirements. This is the most crucial and challenging step.
2. Recognition by the UGC (University Grants Commission): Depending on the type of college you plan to open (e.g., arts, science, commerce, professional), you may need to seek recognition from the UGC, a national body that accredits universities and colleges in India. This is a separate process from affiliation.
3. Affiliation Application (to Rajasthan University): *After* securing all necessary government permissions and potentially UGC recognition, you can then apply to Rajasthan University for affiliation. The university will have its own set of requirements and criteria, including faculty qualifications, infrastructure details, and course curriculum. The specifics of the application process (forms, documentation, fees) will be available on the Rajasthan University website or by contacting their affiliation department directly.
4. Inspection and Approval: Rajasthan University will typically send an inspection team to assess your college's facilities, faculty, and adherence to their standards. Only after a successful inspection will affiliation be granted.
In summary: You don't apply *directly* to Rajasthan University for affiliation. You first need to meet all the state government's and potentially UGC's requirements. Only after accomplishing this can you apply for affiliation with the university. Contacting Rajasthan University's affiliation department directly is crucial to understanding their current requirements and procedures. Their website will be your best resource.
