The new offerings focus on emerging technologies, healthcare, research, and multidisciplinary learning, reflecting the institution’s commitment to industry-aligned and employment-oriented education.
Developed after extensive assessment of industry trends, student aspirations and future workforce requirements, the programmes include M.Sc.

The Kanya Gurukul Campus in Dehradun has also introduced M.Sc. Computer Science and B.A. Music, expanding opportunities for students across diverse academic disciplines.
Strengthening its focus on career readiness, the Faculty of Education has established a UPSC Competitive Examination Training Centre, inaugurated by IPS officer Ajay Meena (Gujarat Cadre, 2022 Batch). The centre will offer expert mentorship, structured preparation, current affairs coaching, personality development and strategic guidance for Civil Services and other competitive examinations.
As part of its research-driven approach, the University recently organised a Research Writing Workshop to enhance the quality of academic research. Scholars received practical training in research methodology, project design, proposal writing, publication ethics, impact assessment, and international research standards, encouraging meaningful research with real-world relevance.
The newly launched Robotics Science Programme under the Faculty of Engineering and Technology is another significant addition. The programme provides hands-on training in robotics, artificial intelligence, drone technology and automation, enabling students to develop technical expertise, innovation capabilities and entrepreneurial skills aligned with Industry 4.0.
Recognising the growing demand for professionals in preventive and holistic healthcare, Gurukul Kangri has also introduced a one-year Diploma in Naturopathy and Yogic Science. Open to Class XII graduates from all streams, the programme aims to prepare qualified naturopathy therapists and wellness professionals to serve India’s rapidly expanding healthcare and wellness sectors.
