Ayurveda is enjoying a revival in India, but the teaching methods in the universities, including Gujarat Ayurveda University, are far below western standards and focuses little on the yogic aspects of ayurveda. Marma therapy and Ayurvedic pulse diagnosis are not taught there, but due to the rich environment of other scholars, teachers of these adjunct sciences are to be found. Prospective students should be prepared for a do it yourself kind of education. The cultural and language differences are challenging, as well as the pollution and noise of the city.

However, the ancient science of Ayurveda is alive and well under the less than impressive exterior of the university campus. Research is being conducted at the postgraduate level on many modern illnesses.
