India’s Ist Industry-Centric Technology & Liberal Arts University focused on Research & Innovation.
As I entered the sprawling Apeejay Stya University (ASU) campus on the Sohna Palwal road in Gurgaon, I was being reminded of the esteem and recognitions it has been able to carve in a short time. Obviously, I had high expectations...As it turned out, ASU exceeded my expectations in more ways than one.
What struck me the most were the unique aspects of this University, its thoughtful support of interdisciplinary approach to the pursuit of knowledge, strong and meaningful industry linkages, zest for co-curricular activities and a great confluence of cultures into the campus. On top of that, I found out that ASU has been established on the academic pattern of the best universities of the world, offering an array of innovative programmes across disciplines including Engineering & Technology, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Design & Visual Arts, Biosciences, Management Sciences, Journalism & Mass Communication, Education and Legal Studies.
