ITM Vocational University is a private university in Vadodara district, Gujarat, created to combine degree education with a strong vocational and professional orientation. It is part of the ITM Group of Institutions, whose higher-education journey began in 1991. The university was established under the Gujarat Private Universities framework through the 2014 amendment legislation, although some source datasets carry an earlier institutional year connected with the ITM group's development in Gujarat. The university operates at Ravaal near Waghodia in Vadodara district and was conceived around engineering and technology, management, economics and commerce, and life, health and allied sciences. Its statutory and institutional documents emphasize vocationally relevant learning, skills, employment preparation and partnerships with industry. Programmes are designed to combine academic theory with practical training and workplace-oriented experience. ITM Vocational University has developed academic and industrial collaborations, including arrangements intended to support exchange, credit transfer, pathways and applied learning. The institution is designed as a private, unaided and non-profit university under its founding framework. Its academic identity differs from a conventional university by placing employability and vocational learning explicitly at the centre of the model. The university's history links the wider ITM Group's 1991 foundation, later technical and skills initiatives in Vadodara, and the creation of a dedicated vocational university in 2014. Its Waghodia-area campus supports professional education within the industrial and educational ecosystem of Vadodara district. The university's first statutes were developed under powers provided by the Gujarat private-university law. The university's statutory establishment is associated with the 2014 Gujarat amendment. 2012 — ITM Technical Skills Academy activity developed in Vadodara as part of the group's skills strategy. 7 April 2014 — The university's first-statute process was taken up by its ad hoc Governing Body. Current phase — ITM Vocational University continues skill-oriented degree education from the Waghodia area.
