Bennett University: Fees, Ranking, Courses, Admissions CURRENT_YEAR, Placements

Overview

Bennett University sits in the fast‑growing education hub of Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh, and has quickly become one of India’s most ambitious private‑university ventures. Founded in 2016 under the Bennett, a Premier Private University Act, the campus blends a research‑first mindset with industry‑driven teaching, aiming to spark innovation, entrepreneurship and global competence.

Vision & Mission
The university’s vision is to evolve into a world‑class, research‑centric institution that grooms innovators, leaders and socially responsible citizens. Its mission breaks down into four clear actions: deliver interdisciplinary, experiential learning; build a vibrant research ecosystem; forge strong industry‑academia partnerships; and champion sustainable development and community outreach. These goals shape everything from course design to the very layout of the campus.

Academic Portfolio
Bennett houses a range of schools, each offering flagship programs and distinctive features. The School of Engineering & Technology delivers B.Tech degrees in fields such as Computer Science, ECE, Mechanical, Mechatronics and AI & Data Science, supported by AI‑enabled labs, 5G test‑beds and industry‑grade robotics, plus dual‑degree routes abroad. The School of Management runs BBA, B.Com (Honours), MBA and an integrated BBA‑MBA, with live projects for Fortune‑500 firms and immersion trips to Europe and Singapore. The School of Law offers BA LLB (Hons.) and LLM, featuring a VR‑enhanced moot‑court and a tie‑up with NLSIU. Other schools—Liberal Arts & Social Sciences, Architecture & Design, Health Sciences, and Science & Humanities—provide programs ranging from psychology to sustainable design, each approved by the Uttar Pradesh State Board and recognized by the UGC. Doctoral pathways span 12 disciplines, and merit‑based scholarships are available for high‑achieving or financially disadvantaged students.

Pedagogy
Learning is firmly rooted in experience: semester‑long industry residencies, capstone projects and mandatory startup‑incubator work are standard for most undergraduates. A hybrid model blends face‑to‑face teaching with an AI‑driven LMS that tailors each student’s journey, while Outcome‑Based Education ensures every course maps to measurable graduate outcomes aligned with global accreditation bodies such as ABET and AACSB.
