In 1995, the Thai government elevated existing teacher training colleges to so-called Rajabhat Institutes.
The transformation expanded the legal mandate of these institutions, granting them the authority to confer postgraduate degrees, including doctorates.
They are generally considered easier to gain admission to than the traditional public universities.
[3] The word "Rajabhat" is derived from the same origin as the Hindi, "Rajput" (from Sanskrit raja-putra, "son of a king").
