Dr. Parul Patel

Dr. Parul Patel is the Vice President and Chairperson of the Admissions Committee at Parul University, one of India's fastest-growing universities based in Vadodara.

The university and the trust both carry her name. Dr. Parul Patel did her MD in Organon from Hemchandracharya North Gujarat University in Patan. Before turning to institution building she spent eight years teaching as a Professor at Rajkot Homoeopathic Medical College. The first institution the trust set up was Ahmedabad Homeopathic College, back in 1993. Engineering and management institutes came six years after that, university status took another two decades on top of that.

She personally sits with over 8,000 students every year and guides them through the admission process. Every regulatory body's rules and requirements are kept in check through this. Her awareness campaigns have reached more than 15,000 students across Gujarat, covering admissions in Engineering, Paramedical, Management, and other professional and non-professional programs.

She is also a Managing Trustee of Parul Arogya Seva Mandal Trust. She sits as an executive member on the Board of Governance of Parul University. And she is a Member of the Central Council of Homoeopathy, the body that governs homoeopathic education and practice across India. On the education front, she is Managing Trustee of Anand Vidya Vihar School and New Era Senior Secondary School in Vadodara. Moreover, she is also a Director at Parul Pharmaceuticals Pvt. Ltd.

Her roots in teaching naturally expanded her vision of serving ahead. Dr. Parul Patel's roots are in homoeopathic medicine. She spent eight years teaching at Rajkot Homoeopathic Medical College as a Professor before her path shifted toward university administration. Since that shift was deeply personal, the Parul Arogya Seva Mandal Trust and the university that grew from it both carry her name, and that says everything about how central she has been to what this institution is.

As Vice President of Student Affairs and General Administration she became the main point of contact for student welfare across the entire 250 plus acre campus. When admissions season comes around she does not manage it from a distance, she puts in 12 plus hours every single day for over five months straight, sitting with students and guiding them through the process without a break.

Her work also goes into homoeopathic education at the national level, as a Member of the Central Council of Homoeopathy which governs homoeopathic education and practice across India.

As Chairperson of Admissions, she has built a comprehensive admissions system that personally guides 8,000+ students annually through the process across all faculties and disciplines, from Engineering and Management to Medical, Paramedical, Law, Design, and more.

Her awareness campaigns across Gujarat have reached over 15,000 students, providing clarity on admissions processes for professional and non-professional courses. Her student-centered approach has been a key driver of Parul University's enrollment growth from 4,033 students in 2015–16 to 70,000+ today, including 6000+ international students from 75+ countries.

On the student affairs front, Dr. Parul Patel leads the general administration that supports 27,000+ students in on-campus residences, ensuring quality of campus life including dining, hostel management, and student well-being.

Her membership in the Central Council of Homoeopathy (CCH) strengthens Parul University's standing in homoeopathic education nationally. She also received the "Leading University in Gujarat" award at the Pride of Gujarat ceremony organized by News 18, alongside the outgoing Vice Chancellor, from Hon. Chief Minister of Gujarat Shri Bhupendra Patel.

Dr. Parul Patel's medical background is in homoeopathy, with an MD in Organon – the foundational philosophy and principles of homoeopathic practice. She served as Professor at Rajkot Homoeopathic Medical College for 8 years before joining Parul University's administration.

Her membership in the Central Council of Homoeopathy (CCH), the Government of India body governing homoeopathic education and practice, gives her a national perspective on AYUSH education policy and practice standards. This role also strengthens Parul University's six AYUSH colleges – which are the first in India from a single private university to have all six accredited by NABH.
