Welcome to the upcoming Plaksha University. It is being founded to reimagine technology education and research by a global community of entrepreneurs, business leaders and academicians.

In partnership with
We will empower graduates with more than just a deep understanding of science and technology. We will nurture critical thinkers, effective communicators, and empathetic and creative leaders to solve our planet's toughest problems.
This is not a traditional Computer Science degree, but combines a CS core with machine learning, Artificial Intelligence, and human intelligence with a long term view that computing systems will be pervasive.
Offers a forward-thinking curriculum at the intersection of computing mechatronics and human behavior. It has an electrical, computer engineering core with elements of robotics, autonomous systems, IOT and sensors.
An interdisciplinary degree that will enable students to apply engineering principles and the power of biology to improve human health as well as planetary health.
This degree will train graduates in modeling and analysis of large biological and biomedical data.
A strong core in data science blended with an introduction to how human think, behave & make decisions, how society works (including cultural & anthropological underpinnings) and how economic and financial markets operate (including digital platforms & markets)
The vision is being guided by eminent academicians and thought leaders across the world.
