ADAMAS UNIVERSITY Summary
Adamas University is a private university located at Barasat in North 24 Parganas, West Bengal, within the Adamas Knowledge City campus near Kolkata. The institution was created by the Sachis Kiron Roy Memorial Trust under the Adamas University Act, 2014. The Act was published in the Kolkata Gazette in March 2014, and its provisions came into effect on 11 April 2014 through a Government of West Bengal notification. The university operates on a green campus of about 120 acres and has developed as a multidisciplinary institution. The university organizes teaching through multiple schools covering engineering and technology, basic and applied sciences, business and economics, law and justice, liberal arts and culture, media and communication, life sciences, education and other fields. Its academic model emphasizes multidisciplinary study, research, professional preparation and industry engagement. Adamas also highlights international academic partnerships, student and faculty exchanges, collaborative projects and research activity as part of its institutional strategy. The university’s development is closely connected with the wider RICE Group educational network and the Sachis Kiron Roy Memorial Trust. That background provided an institutional foundation for the creation of a full university with a broader academic mandate. Over time, Adamas has expanded its student community, residential facilities, laboratories, research infrastructure and academic collaborations. The campus includes dedicated academic buildings and supports both day scholars and resident students. Adamas University has also pursued formal quality assurance and accreditation as it has matured. Its growth from a newly legislated university in 2014 to a larger multidisciplinary campus reflects a deliberate shift from a regional education network toward a research-oriented university model. The institution’s identity today combines a substantial residential campus, professional and liberal disciplines, research activity, international engagement and a strong focus on preparing students for contemporary careers while maintaining its base in the Kolkata metropolitan region.
