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..
