Jain (Deemed-to-be University)

Jain (Deemed-to-be University) in Bengaluru has built its name on breadth and flexibility rather than a single flagship discipline: commerce, business administration, engineering, law and management all run at scale across its city campuses. It is particularly associated with entrepreneurship programmes and with sport — the university has an established record of enrolling and supporting national-level athletes, and several prominent sportspeople hold its degrees. Deemed status came in 2009, and it holds an A++ grade from NAAC, the highest band, with a NIRF rank of 85. Being spread through Bengaluru rather than walled into one campus gives student life a distinctly urban texture, and fees are private-sector. It suits students who want a flexible, well-accredited private university in India's start-up capital — especially in commerce, management or law — rather than a traditional single-campus experience.
