Assam Down Town University

Assam Down Town University in Guwahati, established in 2010, grew out of the Down Town group known in the city for its hospital, and that healthcare parentage still defines the university: nursing, pharmacy and physiotherapy are its strongest suits, supported by approvals from the pharmacy and nursing councils, with management programmes running alongside. It holds an A grade from NAAC. The campus at Panikhaiti on the city's eastern side serves a catchment covering all of the Northeast, for which Guwahati is the natural education and healthcare hub. Health-sciences students benefit from the group's clinical connections for training and internships. It suits students from Assam and the neighbouring hill states aiming at allied-health and nursing careers — fields with steady employment demand — who want professional training without leaving the region.
