Bennett University, Greater Noida Summary
Bennett University is a state private university in Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh, established by the Times Group through the Bennett University Greater Noida Uttar Pradesh Act, 2016. The Act was gazette-notified in September 2016, and the university developed as a multidisciplinary institution with a strong emphasis on industry engagement, research, innovation and experiential learning. Its campus in the Greater Noida education corridor brings together schools in artificial intelligence, computer science engineering and technology, engineering and applied sciences, management, law, design, liberal arts, media and global pathways. The Times School of Media reflects the institution’s direct connection with the media legacy of the Times Group, while other schools draw on corporate partnerships, advisory boards, entrepreneurship initiatives and international collaborations. Bennett’s teaching model places substantial weight on projects, laboratories, internships, industry interaction, entrepreneurship and applied problem-solving. The university has developed Centres of Excellence, student-led clubs, sports infrastructure, residential facilities and incubation support that extend learning beyond formal classrooms. International academic relationships and global programmes add another layer to the curriculum, while research and doctoral activity support faculty-led and interdisciplinary work. The campus has expanded significantly since the university’s launch and now supports a large residential student community. Bennett also operates an entrepreneurship ecosystem through incubation and mentoring, encouraging student ventures and innovation. Its location in the Delhi NCR technology and corporate region strengthens opportunities for guest lectures, internships, professional networking and recruitment interaction. In a relatively short institutional history, Bennett University has combined the Times Group’s long-standing media and business network with a modern private-university model centred on technology, management, law, media, design and interdisciplinary education. A defining feature is the integration of teaching with corporate and media networks associated with the founding group. Practitioners, advisory boards, industry projects, clubs, competitions and entrepreneurship activities extend learning beyond regular classes.
