Plaksha University

Plaksha University is a UGC-approved private technology university located in Mohali (SAS Nagar), Punjab, established in 2021 under the Punjab State Private Universities Policy of 2010. Founded and funded by over 100 of India’s leading technology entrepreneurs, CEOs and academicians, the university was created with a bold vision — to reimagine technology education in India and build an institution that competes with the finest engineering schools in the world. Its flagship offering is a highly interdisciplinary BTech program, unique in India, with majors such as Computer Science & Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Economics & Business, Biological Systems Engineering, and Robotics & Autonomous Systems.

What truly sets Plaksha apart is its global academic network. The university has deep partnerships with world-renowned institutions including Purdue University, UC San Diego, UC Berkeley, Cornell University, IIT Bombay and IISc Bangalore, enabling curriculum design, research collaboration, student exchanges and faculty engagement at an international level. The 50-acre green campus near Chandigarh International Airport is equipped with smart classrooms, advanced laboratories, a makerspace, innovation centers, modern hostels and extensive sports and wellness facilities, offering students a truly world-class learning environment.

Plaksha follows a distinctive project-based, interdisciplinary pedagogy where students learn by solving real-world problems from day one. Instead of rote learning, the curriculum integrates long-term projects (ILGC), design thinking, entrepreneurship and leadership development, and students enjoy the flexibility to choose their major even after the first year. With faculty drawn from MIT, Cambridge, Imperial College London, LSE and leading Indian institutions, the university maintains an exceptional faculty-student ratio supported by dedicated teaching fellows.

Plaksha is equally committed to accessibility and inclusion. Roughly 85% of students receive some form of scholarship or need-based financial aid, with tuition waivers ranging from 25% to 100%, and more than INR 50 crore has been awarded in aid in recent years. The university’s career outcomes speak for themselves — the founding BTech batch of 2025 recorded an average compensation of INR 20 LPA with top offers up to INR 65 LPA, driven by recruiters such as McKinsey, BCG, Flipkart, Arcesium, D.E. Shaw and Amazon. For students seeking a future-ready, globally connected technology education, Plaksha University Mohali stands as one of India’s most promising young institutions.
