Faculties

Faculty of Fine Arts

The faculty of fine arts is one of the most well recognised and widely respected faculties all over the world, which has produced notable and world renowned artists. It is considered to tbe the crown jewel in the M.S University. It is ranked in top 3 arts faculty in world.

Faculty of Performing Arts

Classical Music Maharaja Sayajirao Rao Gakewad was also a patron of Indian Classical Music. Ustad Moula Bux, founded the Academy of Indian Music under the patronage of Maharaja Sayajirao Gaekwad. This Academy later became the Music College and is now the Faculty of Performing Arts of the Maharaja Sayajirao University of Vadodara. Apart from Ustad Moula Bux, Sayajirao’s Court boasted of great artistes like Ustad Inayat Khan and Ustad Faiyyaz Khan. It was during the reign of Maharaja Sayajirao Gaekwad that the first all India Music Conference was held in 1914 in Baroda.

Dance The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda—a city only two hours by train from Ahmedabad—had started the first dance programme in India in 1950. Over the centuries there had been many alliances and marriages between Baroda’s kings and distant princesses. Dancers were often part of the dowry as dancers, poets and musicians were status symbols for the royal courts and maharajas had as many artists as they could afford. In 1880 the Maharani Laksmi Bai(Chimnabai I) of Tanjore was married to Baroda’s Maharaja Sayajirao III Gopalrao Gaekwad, an enlightened prince who after ascending the throne established the Baroda College as one of his first public acts. It was later absorbed into the university that bears his name. Chimnabai I was knowledgeable in Bharatanatyam and carnatic music, and brought a troupe with her, comprising two dancers, two nattuvanars (leaders of Bharatanatyam concerts), and two teachers (Khandwani 2002). Others followed later: nattuvanar Appaswamy and his dancer wife Kantimati, who had studied with Kannusamy and Vadively, two members of the Tanjore Quartet. After the death of Appaswamy in 1939, Kantimati and their son, Kubernath Tanjorkar, left Baroda to teach in Lucknow, and then worked in film in South India until Maharaja Pratap Singhrao Gaekwad called the Tanjorkar family back to Baroda in 1949, to teach in the Music Department in the Palace Kalavan which was later absorbed into the Maharaja Sayajirao University (Gaston 1996: 158-160).So what we have here is a tradition of very distinguished Bharatanatyam dancers and teachers, members of a family considered an offshoot of the Tanjore Quartet bani (stylistic schools; Gaston 1996: 159), already established in Gujarat by the time Mrinalini sets up her own academy. Yet there is a sense that what she did was not new.

Faculty of Arts

The Faculty of Arts is famous for its educational procedure as well as its GUMBAZ (THE DOME), which is the second largest. FACULTY OF ENGLISH: Departmental Library: The Department of English has a library of its own for use by its students and teachers. It is housed in a spacious room having facilities for reading and conference. It has a collection of around 1200 titles representing poetry, fiction and drama, literary criticism and theory, and works on individual authors and texts. The richest sections are on literary criticism and theory, and fiction. Prof. J Birjepatil, who was the Head of the Department of English for many years has gifted to the Departmental library his entire collection of 860 books. The library has also been receiving gifts from the British Council, the USIS as well as from individuals including members of the teaching staff of this Department. The library has also borrowed some important books from the collection of Smt. Hansa Mehta library of the University for use by its teachers and research scholars.

Faculty of Journalism and Communication

The only media faculty to be recognized all over Gujarat (once accredited as 3rd at all India level hardly a few years ago) for its courses offered and the strong alumni networking viz SONY, SAB TV , Zee NEWS, NDTV, AAJ TAK, India Today, ETV, Sahara Samay, Times Now, Times Of India, Indian Express, BBC, Hats OFF productions etc. But unfortunately the focus of this faculty remains print journalism only.

If you are interested in Communication, Electronic Media or even copy writing and PR, this is not the right place to be. The syllabus covered in Masters Degree does not even match with the syllabus of Bachelors Degree in Media studies by many other faculties and colleges across the nation. There are only 3 working faculty members and rest are either visiting members.

With the present scenario, even these three members of the faculty are not enough competent to meet today's growing requirements of media students. Hence, the course is partly covered as per the whims of faculty members and at the cost of students future. The facilities provided to a media student by this faculty are not up to the mark and requirements in comparison to the other UGC granted Colleges and Autonomous Institutes all over India.

These members are more than content with their some below cadre teaching and do not want to take responsibilities in real sense.

Wake up students, teachers, alumni and the University administration to revive this faculty at every cost.

Faculty of Technology and Engineering

The Faculty of Technology and Engineering of the Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda is one of the best engineering schools in the state of Gujarat. It is housed in Kala Bhavan, the building was supposed to be a temporary palace of the Maharaja of Baroda while his palace was being constructed. Hence is it located exactly opposite to the Laxmi Vilas Palace. The Maharaja donated the palace to open the school of engineering.

Founded by Maharaja Sayajirao Gaekwad III of Baroda as the Kalabhavan Technical Institute in the year 1890 AD the Faculty of Technology and Engineering is also popularly recognised as Techo.

The Kala Bhavan started its activity in 1890 with the modest but novel objective of producing skilled artisans and apprentices by imparting instruction in local language in the following fields:

Civil, Mechanical, and Electrical Engineering,Drawing and Printing, Architecture and Photo engraving, Textile Chemistry including Dyeing, Bleaching, Sizing & Printing, oil and Soap making etc, With the assistance of German experts and foreign trained teacher under the able stewardship of Principal T. K. Gajjar. Other courses on Textile Technology(weaving), Furniture making and Fine Arts were started later. Principal C. H. Vora consolidated these pioneering efforts into a Polytechnic by starting a variety of Diploma and Certificate courses in the above major disciples, with the additional staff, laboratories and buildings. The Polytechnic status with steady development continued until 1949 when the Kalabhavan was converted into the Faculty of Technology and Engineering (with the establishment of The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, following generous donation by the Gaekwads for the University and the New Building of the Institute). From this stage onwards, the Institute developed rapidly recognizing no bounds.

These hectic developments resulting in creation of 15 departments, a workshop, a library and several buildings were possible due to the financial support mainly from UGC and aided by UNDP, USAID and Government agencies and also due to the dedicated efforts by the Institute, Deans and Teachers. Faculty laboratories and departments received massive aid of $1,050,000 for development from the United Nations Development Program(UNDP). The aid was given to develop infrastructure facilities in the area of Fracture mechanics, Water Resources and Environmental Engineering, Turbojet propulsion and Microprocessor Applications. In 1986, Post Graduate courses on (i) Fracture Mechanics (ii) Irrigation Water Management (iii) Turbojet Propulsion and (iv) Microprocessor Applications were introduced.

Under USAID program, faculty received a massive grant of Rs. 4 crore from Water Resources Department and Narmada Department of Government of Gujarat for development of undergraduate and postgraduate program of Irrigation Water Management in March 1991. Constant efforts are made to update curriculum, improve teaching, enhance infrastructure and laboratory facilities, promote research and establish linkages with the Society and Industries and above all, emphasis on excellence.

Under the Quality Improvement Program of Department of Electronics – now called Ministry of Information Technology, Department of electrical Engineering and Department of Computer Science received electronic equipments, computers and software worth Rs. 200 crores. This project was named as IMPACT project and was for the improvement of laboratory facilities for under graduate degree program. MIT later on partly supported the maintenance of equipments and computers under the sustainability support scheme.

Department of Science and Technology agreed to support to the tune of Rs. 112 lacs to the Pharmacy Department under the MISSION REACH. This project is called TIFAC CORE -- Center of Relevance and Excellence. Under this project, Industrial Partnership is also expected. UGC, under the SAP Program granted DRS – Phase III and COSIST Program to Metallurgical Engineering Department and DRS – Phase I to Pharmacy Department. Pharmacy Department is also likely to become QIP center for M.Pharm. and Ph.D. under AICTE – QIP.

The reputed faculty members leave profound influence by their expertise at the major national & international conferences, seminars and refresher courses and help shape the future trends in technical education. That our Alumni have performed excellently in higher education and in challenging jobs in India and abroad (particularly USA) and have achieved higher key positions, bears testimony to the quality of education imparted. The Institute is always a preferred choice for a student to become and engineer and for the employer to grab its competent engineers for jobs. Thus, it has taken more than a century of dedicated efforts of a few pioneers and visionaries to raise the old KALA BHAVAN to the stature of a mighty technical institute in the forefront of technical education in the service of the nation.
