About Us 

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, which includes Prof Rajesh Khanna, President, and Prof Parimal Mandke, Vice-President of NU, 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.

NIIT University (NU) is the inheritor of a rich legacy of trust, experience, know-how, innovation and global reputation earned by its parent, NIIT Limited, one of the world’s top IT training and talent development companies with a global footprint in over 30 countries.

Founded in 2009 to be the leading centre of innovation and learning in the emerging areas of knowledge society, the university has been built on the bedrock of its four core principles of providing an industry-linked, technology-driven, research-based and seamless education.

These principles are derived from the vision and experience of its founders. A large part of NU’s state-of-the-art technology-enabled pedagogy and strong research-focused curriculum has, in fact, originated from NIIT’s incubation lab, the Centre for Research in Cognitive Systems (CRCS), on the IIT Delhi campus. NIIT contributed to this award-winning lab along with its team, equipment, patents, and body of research as the first building block of NU, back in the 2000s.
