It is not exaggeration to say that Pilvai is a renowned place of learning not only in Mehsana district but also in the whole region of North Gujarat. College was started by Uttar-Purva Gujarat Uchcha Kelvani Mandal, Pilvai in 1960 by donors truly devoted to the cause of education with a view to imparting higher education to brilliant but economically poor students belonging to rural area. Ever since its establishment, the institution is benefited with sighted Managing Authorities and enthusiastic Principals. In first cycle, NAAC has accredited our institution at B level (72.7%) on dt. 31/03/2007. During the post Accreditation period, the prestigious status of Colleges with Potential for Excellence (CPE) has been awarded by the UGC in 2010. In second cycle, NAAC has accredited our institution with A-Grade (CGPA-3.01) on dt. 21/02/2014. The institution also accredited with A-Grade (CGPA-3.04) by KCG, Government of Gujarat. The prestigious status of Colleges with Potential for Excellence (CPE) Phase – II has been awarded by the UGC in 2014.

Institution has initially remained eager and active regarding all-round development of the students. To fortify the same, student oriented activities are geared up through the ‘Pilvai College Vartul’, Career Guidance Centre, Science Society, CSC, Poor Boys’ Library, N.C.C and N.S.S. Students’ complaints or demands are also justified impartially. Students are encouraged to participate in various activities/competitions held by College/University. The institution has always been at the forefront in consultancy and extension activities. The institute stirs a number of activities in co-ordination with other academic/social organizations.

The institution has spent 50 years of its esteemed existence. This institution is fulfilling its mission and vision and has fortified a number of youths with higher education. Three generations of people of this area have acquired higher education through this institution. In this smooth and successful completion of 50 years, a great contribution of local society has remained notable. And in order to show the gratitude for the same, the college decided to celebrate “Swarnim Mahotsav” (Golden Jubilee Celebration). Moreover, the aim of such a grand celebration was also to cherish relations.
