Listed at entry 96 of the Ministry's published List of Host Institutes for the incubation component of the MSME Innovative Scheme, as "Manipal University Jaipur" (JAIPUR, RAJASTHAN), checked 24 September 2026. This is the status that lets an innovator name the institute as their Host Institute when applying on the ministry's own portal. The list gives no approval date, no period and no status column, so whether the recognition is current cannot be told from it; and being listed is a capacity registration, not evidence that the institute has ever hosted an approved idea.
