The paper examines how academic audits have improved academic standards and influenced the performance of universities in Rajasthan. To meet the objectives, multiple regression test was used to analyze a sample of 856 respondents from different universities in Rajasthan, including public, private and deemed. The findings revealed that four variables, i.e., teaching and learning, evaluation and assessment, research, and infrastructure, explain the improvement in various academic activities for the success of academic audit in various universities in Rajasthan.
