Other facilities include the Tulsi Sports Academy, a gymnasium, yoga centre and central library. Science, IT and agriculture laboratories support practical work at undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

Udaipur's historic setting is relevant to the university's Archaeology and Jyotisha and Vastu courses, which are uncommon among private universities elsewhere in Rajasthan. Students may also take certificate programmes in French, German and Spanish.
