Private Universities (unlike private engineering colleges) as per law do not require AICTE approval.
Our academic programs are designed and developed by an Academic Advisory Board from leading global Universities, and are benchmarked to international standards.
It will be a 4 year B.Tech degree program.
Engineering degrees are traditionally focused on one discipline - e.g. Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering.
However, real-world applications lie at the intersection of various disciplines. For example, building a robot lies at the intersection of computer science, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering. Creating a medical implant lies at the intersection of biology, material science, electrical engineering and other disciplines.
An interdisciplinary engineering education means that our degrees are thoughtful designed to dismantle walls between disciplines and prepare students to make impact on the toughest problems faced by our planet. Each of the degrees we are offering are cutting-edge and are not constrained by the boundaries of one discipline.
We will ask students to indicate their preference. However, students will have an option to apply for a switch at the end of the first year.
The freshman year is intentionally designed to be almost entirely common between the degrees, so that students have an opportunity to be exposed to different options and make an informed choice.
Our partner institutions are truly invested in our mission to reimagine technology education and research, and this shared mission lies at the heart of the partnership.
Our partners are deeply engaged with us in the entire process of institution building, including design and delivery of the curriculum, faculty and student exchange, and joint research.
For example, the Plaksha Technology Leaders Program was designed from a blank slate over a series of brainstorming workshops at UC Berkeley and India. A senior Berkeley faculty is the Co-Chair of the program, six Berkeley faculty teach at TLP, and the certificate is co-signed by Sutardja Center for Entrepreneurship & Technology, UC Berkeley.
Our partners believe that such interdisciplinary programs are the future of education. In fact, one of their key interests is that if the programs are successful, they can actually be taken back to their own institution as well. In that sense, what is happening at Plaksha is truly cutting-edge.
Plaksha University is established under the Punjab government's 'Punjab Private Universities Policy 2010'.
Plaksha is empowered to award degrees as specified under Section 22 of the UGC Act.
Plaksha undergraduate education experience is designed to be fully residential and all students will be required to stay on campus. We believe that living on campus will be a significant part of the overall student experience.
The campus is ready.
Campus tours are organized at regular intervals. The link is announced on the home page.
We will accept applications in multiple rounds. You can submit your application only once.
For example, if you have submitted your application in Round 2, you can't apply in Round 3 or Round 4.
We encourage you to apply as early as possible.
