Nayanta University in Pune has commenced its first academic session with its founding undergraduate class of 2025–29. The university offers a four-year, residential programme in the arts, sciences, and technology. Admissions are now open for the class of 2026–30 for the BA (Hons) and BSc (Hons) programmes.
“We need to know your stories, your lives, and all that makes you special,” said Ranjan Banerjee, Interim Vice Chancellor and Professor, Nayanta University, during his address at the inauguration ceremony of orientation, attended by students, their families, faculty and staff. “There are no foolish questions. We have to create an environment where any question can be asked.”
“The greatest teaching happens person to person,” said Naushad Forbes, Chancellor, Nayanta University, to the founding class students.
Forbes added, “We will get to know you, and we encourage you to get to know us. So if great teaching happens person to person, you will get an abundance of person-to-person time from our faculty, our university leaders and staff, and our founders. Please take full advantage of this.”
The curriculum is designed to support two-way learning journeys with a focus on critical thinking, creativity, and real-world problem-solving skills, while encouraging students to engage with contemporary global and local challenges.
Admissions for the undergraduate class of 2026–30 are now open; interested applicants can apply on the Nayanta University website. |
