The campus life at the university is reflective of our ethos of diversity where you live, play, learn and interact with brilliants minds from within and neighboring communities. As the founding batch, you will get the chance to create new clubs and an array of opportunities for intellectual stimulation such as Smart India Hackathon.

Hostel life is an integral part of the Shiva Nadar University experience. This is why the on-campus housing and living experience is mindfully designed to create a space where you learn in the comfort and safety of separate self-contained facilities for girls and boys, along with dining options.

With emphasis on fostering values such as leadership, teamwork, discipline and keeping overall wellness of the students in mind, the university provides the best-in-class sports facilities.

The World Inequality Report, 2018 highlights the rapid pace at which inequality across the world is increasing. This is a particularly acute problem in India, where over 50% of the population is below the age of 25. Education is perhaps the single most important input which can narrow this gap, and the Shiv Nadar Foundation is designed to create enduring institutions which will assist bright young students in achieving their full potential.
The latest of these institutions is being created in Chennai. Chennai has been very dear to my heart, and one of the aspects that I appreciate most is the culture of excellence in education. The high density of brilliant minds makes it a logical home for a global institution. The philosophy of 'simple living, high thinking' establishes an environment where solid academic rigour and boundless curiosity go hand in hand. Shiv Nadar University Chennai will draw strength from and strengthen this culture, and spread it's light across the world.
