Established in 2009, NIIT University (NU) is located on a sprawling 100-acre campus in the lap of the Aravali Hills in Neemrana. Our campus is easily accessible by road, air, and rail.
NU was born out of the vision of our founders to create a model institution of learning, research, innovation, and sustainability built on the bedrock of our four core principles of providing an industry-linked, technology-based, research-driven, and seamless education.
Our founders, Rajendra S Pawar and Vijay K Thadani, have brought their experience as pioneers of computer education in the country and veterans of the software services sector to create an institution that meets global standards of education.
They are assisted in their mission by our Founding Professors, who comprise senior and highly accomplished professionals drawn from various fields, as well as by our stellar Board of Management, which is headed by India’s foremost space scientist, Dr K Kasturirangan as Chairperson of NU, and which includes distinguished leaders from industry and academia.
The university’s outstanding team of administrators, ensures that the university delivers on the vision of its founders.
In addition, NU’s various Industry and Research Advisory Boards comprise thought leaders from various disciplines, who act as our guiding lights. They enable us to align our education to the emerging trends in various fields and provide a panoramic view of the dynamic interplay between disciplines.
NU’s success in delivering a globally-benchmarked education on a sustainable campus is evident from the numerous awards and accolades that the university has won over the years – and that it continues to win. Vision
