Nirma University

Nirma University in Ahmedabad, established in 2003 by the founder of the Nirma consumer-goods group, has become one of Gujarat's strongest private university brands, with its Institute of Technology and Institute of Management the best-known parts of a campus that also spans law and pharmacy. It holds an A+ grade from NAAC and an unusually wide set of professional approvals covering engineering, law, pharmacy and architecture. Within Gujarat, its B.Tech and MBA carry particular weight with recruiters. Ahmedabad is a major commercial city with a large corporate base and living costs below Mumbai or Bengaluru. The university suits students who want a reputed private multi-discipline campus in western India, especially those choosing among engineering, management and law under one established name.
