Admissions will open in October..

Plaksha is in the process of recognition by the University Grants Commission.

Plaksha has not applied for AICTE recognition as of now. However, our academic programs are designed and developed by an Academic Advisory Board from leading global Universities, and are bench marked 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 Tech Leaders Fellowship 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 Fellowship, six Berkeley faculty teach at the Fellowship, and the certificate is co-signed by Sutardja Center for Entrepreneurship & Technology, UC Berkeley. One 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 here is truly cutting-edge.
