About Us

Chitkara University began with a vision to redefine higher education when the Chitkara Educational Trust established its Punjab campus in 2002 along the Chandigarh–Patiala National Highway. This vision took a major leap in 2010 when the Punjab State Legislature granted it full university status under The Chitkara University Act. Today, the University stands as one of the most respected private institutions in North India.

Recognised under Sections 2(f) and 22(1) of the UGC Act, 1956, Chitkara University has the authority to award degrees across a wide range of disciplines. Its 70-acre campus enjoys a prime location, comfortably accessible from Chandigarh, Mohali, Panchkula, Ambala and Patiala. Over the years, the University has earned a reputation for offering industry-focused, multi-disciplinary programs that prepare students for real-world careers.

Academic learning takes place in modern amphitheatre-style classrooms equipped with advanced ICT tools and state-of-the-art laboratories that support practical, hands-on education. The campus also provides an active environment for co-curricular and cultural activities through various clubs and societies, ensuring holistic development.

Chitkara’s strong national and international collaborations, global exchange programs and consistent placement record attract students from across India and abroad. A diverse community of international learners and global study opportunities enrich the campus experience, allowing students to gain valuable cultural and academic exposure.

Accredited with NAAC A+ and approved by leading bodies such as COA, PCI, NCTE, INC and NCHMCT, the University upholds its commitment to academic excellence. With programs in engineering, management, pharmacy, health sciences, design, media, applied sciences, architecture and law, Chitkara University continues to shape confident, skilled and future-ready graduates.

Final selection is made after verifying all documents and ensuring that the candidate meets the eligibility guidelines.
