Bennett University

Extending the core journalistic principles of Trust, Knowledge and Public Service, Bennett, Coleman and Co. Ltd. (BCCL) established over 178 years ago, has continually undertaken initiatives for the betterment of Indian society. The group started expanding into the education sector with the launch of TimesPro - which focuses on short-term courses that enhance employability. It then launched Bennett University, a state private university in Uttar Pradesh with the aim of providing Ivy League quality of education to undergraduate and postgraduate students making them, ‘life and career ready’. Bennett University located at Greater Noida, commenced its operations on 08 Aug 2016. The University fosters a proactive environment of Innovation and Entrepreneurship, while enhancing skills in all areas of higher education through the internationally acclaimed Centers of Excellence such as Centre for Innovation & Entrepreneurship (CIE) and Centre of Executive Education (CEE).

Our Vision is to become a Centre of Excellence comparable to the Ivy League standards; helping define aspirations and possibilities for the long term, and producing ‘life and career ready’ professionals with leadership quality, who are ready to challenge and be challenged (in the areas of technology, engineering, management, law, media, innovation and entrepreneurship)

Our Mission is to develop as a benchmark University in higher and professional education sectors. To provide an Ivy League quality education and learning experience in the higher education space in a world-class infrastructure and research-driven academic environment, to students looking for a well-rounded academic experience with enhanced employability prospects; and to harness human capital for sustainable competitive edge and social relevance.

Bennett University, an extension of the Times Group’s peerless tradition of leadership and innovation, was set up to fulfill a simple, yet profound, purpose: Providing students with their finest launchpad for a global career filled with multiple possibilities. Our global tie-ups – bringing the finest educational experiences from acclaimed destinations of learning like Georgia Tech (USA), Johnson Cornell (USA), Cornell Law School, Babson Global (USA) and edX - have, in effect, converted Bennett University into a confluence of the finest global influences.

A lot of thought has gone into creating this confluence. We have selected the right academic partners who are universally acknowledged as domain leaders and who bring immense experience and intellectual rigor for our students to benefit from.

Our faculty is much more than what their distinguished designations and credentials claim. In their depth of experience, breadth of expertise and scope of vision, each of them represents the ideal guru and perfect mentor – one that the students can look up to for an education that not only bestows degrees, but also the wisdom to apply the knowledge gained in meaningful ways.

The world has already moved from an employee culture to an owner culture – be it in the ownership of a legal corporate entity, or ownership over outcomes at work. Bennett University keeps pace with this trend to foster powerful entrepreneurial thinking and abilities in our students. If they have a big idea, we will excite and enthuse them till it sees the light of day – through our unique start-up initiative like The Bennett Hatchery.

Enabling students to become ‘life & career ready’ is the cornerstone at Bennett. Capstone projects, a
curriculum that reflects the demands of the industry, ‘real projects’ that help our students learn ‘live’, emphasis on ‘Life Skills’ - critical reasoning, communication, teamwork, and a culture of continuous learning make Bennett a truly one of a kind university.

As we look to the future, one thing is certain – knowledge will be our key driver, but so will the ability to use its power in bold new directions. As we attempt to achieve the lofty goals we have set for ourselves, it is equally important we stay close to our wider communities and society at large, and ensure that our accomplishments touch the maximum number of lives, in the maximum number of ways.

We look forward to welcoming you.
