The name ‘Banasthali Vidyapith’ was adopted in 1943 and undergraduate courses were introduced. The institution was granted the status of a deemed university in 1983 by the UGC.

It is ensconced in a circular border which carries its name, year of establishment and its motto in Sanskrit ‘सा विद्या या विमुक्तये’ meaning ‘That which Liberates is Knowledge’ which forms part of a verse appearing in Vishnu-Purana (1.19.41). The colour blue signifies serenity, calmness, trust, spirituality, calmness, wisdom, freedom, openness, intelligence and loyalty.
