The genesis of an institution of academic excellence lies in the principles, profile and the vision of its founders who define its mission, purpose and the direction. Chitkara University was founded around the vision, and the academic accomplishments of Dr. Ashok Chitkara and Dr. Madhu Chitkara, who have pledged four decades of their lives, and career to educate, and mentor students.
Their commitment to the quality of education and student success has become the cornerstone of Chitkara University’s growth philosophy. Being a ‘not for profit’ organisation, all efforts and resources are re-invested to ensure that each student gets the requisite mentorship and skill sets to explore their real potential and add value to themselves, their careers, and to the community at large.
Our academic excellence is complemented by an accomplished faculty, impressive infrastructure, extracurricular facilities and adequate residential accommodations. At Chitkara University, the quality of education takes a clear precedence over quantity of students where we keep a check on small class sizes so each student gets the time, attention and the mentorship they deserve from their teachers.
Our alums are the biggest testimonials of our commitment to academic excellence, and have made us proud with their accomplishments in diverse careers, nationally and overseas. We offer career placement services and an access to global education through student exchanges, course articulations, study abroad options etc. where we have partnered with more than hundred leading institutions in different continents.
Being a research focused University, we encourage new ideas and innovations to provide support and help realise students’ vision. We have built few of then best entrepreneurship incubation centers in India across our campuses to provide our students with the infrastructure and resources they would need, coupled with a strong mentorship from veterans in their field. Our doors are open for all to come and discover an applied education that is way ahead of its time at Chitkara University. And explore and realise your potential.
