Dr Nooruddin was honored with a Doctorate of Letter (D. Litt.) (Honoris Causa) by Ajeenkya D.Y.

The conferment by the University was also in recognition of his leadership in steering the development of various complex community projects, including the SBUT redevelopment project - a transformative initiative that is improving the lives of thousands of residents in one of Mumbai's oldest and most densely populated neighborhoods.
The Pune-based University recognized by the University Grants Commission awarded a doctorate (Honoris Causa) to Dr Vajihuddin in recognition of his contributions to the field of Human Resources Management.

It is a reflection of the vision and guidance provided to us by the late His Holiness Dr Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin Saheb and His Holiness Dr Syedna Mufaddal Saifuddin Saheb, who have both been ardent advocates for community development and education. It is also a testament to the hard work and dedication of the teams I have had the privilege to work with in developing various community projects. I am grateful and remain committed to meaningfully contribute to the community and the society at large."
Commenting on the conferment, Dr Vajihuddin said, "My gratitude to the Ajeenkya DY Patil University for recognizing my contributions through this Doctorate. This honor reflects not only my individual achievements, but also the enduring spirit of service and excellence embodied by the Bohra community."

Patil Group and present Chancellor of the University; Prof. Hrridaysh Deshpande, Vice Chancellor; Dr Makarand Joshi, Controller of Examinations; and His Eminence Prince Qusai Vajihuddin Saheb.
