Acharya’s BeliefAt Acharya, we believe that ‘education in its true spirit must unfold the inherent by fuelling quest’. It must encompass knowledge, skills and values.

Towards this, Acharya Instit––utes have replaced conventional one-way teaching by experiential learning; discipline is interlaced by friendly mentoring.

Acharya Institutes’ commitment to its principles and values is today evidenced through its 10 institutions of collegiate education, 6 research centres and other professional academic establishments.

The sustained successes of the Acharya students reflect the growing commitment of its astute management which is evidenced through the continuous expansion and modernization of infrastructure, enhancement of faculty eminence, expansion of academic streams and fortifying of its corporate and industry connections.

The result is seen in the flocking of students from all over the country and from over 25 countries around the world and also in the brilliance with which they leave Acharya portals, confidently entering the corporate world.

I am proud that Acharya Institutes is truly emerging as the ‘nurturing ground for leadership’. It is becoming synonymous with practical, industry-focussed education. The fact that Acharyans are today a familiar face in the higher rungs of industry and corporate sector is a demonstration of the commitment of our extremely talented faculty.

To me every young person who steps into Acharya portal has a potential for us to groom the inherent and free the intellect.

I welcome your interest and promise you the very best at Acharya.

Research Projects at Acharya - Innovative

Internationally the reputation of an academic institution rests on the original research work that its faculty and students successfully undertake. True academic research as part of learning, leads students to get a firm grounding on the thought processes, implementation methodologies and application of technologies to probe further into the chosen subject of study.

Acharya Institutes emphatically encourage this quest in the students’ minds and has put up extensive academic and physical infrastructure for this purpose. Students at Acharya Institutes, across streams of academics are engaged in original investigative and analytical research work through faculty guidance and assistance. While some such work lead to curricular accomplishments, some have even led the students to present papers in national and international seminars.
