This portal is operated as an official informational and academic communication resource for VJKM Self Finance College, offering Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) and Master of Social Work (MSW) degrees permanently affiliated with Shri Govind Guru University (SGGU), Godhra.

• Information Accuracy: Academic curriculum descriptions, faculty rosters, fieldwork practicum outlines, seat matrices, eligibility rules, and admission timelines are published in good faith and accurate to the best of our knowledge at the time of publication.
• Regulatory Supersession: Academic norms, admission procedures, examination rules, and fee structures are dynamically determined by the Education Department of Gujarat, Gujarat Common Admission Services (GCAS), and Shri Govind Guru University (SGGU). Official statutory circulars take precedence over web portal summaries.
• Verification Obligation: Content published on this Site does not constitute a legally binding contractual guarantee of admission. Prospective students and parents are strongly encouraged to cross-verify crucial admission cutoff marks, required documentation, and deadlines directly with the on-campus Admission Desk in Dabhoi.

2. Acceptable Use and Anti-Scraping Policy
