The following year, King Bhumibol Adulyadej bestowed the name Chandrakasem Rajabhat Institute on the former college.
This raised all Rajabhat institutes to Rajabhat universities, creating a close-knit group of Thai universities dedicated to preserving the Thai heritage and subject to the National Tertiary Education Commission of the Ministry of Education.
