Eminent Higher Educational Institution, Shiv Nadar University has received the status of “Institution of Eminence” from the Indian government.
The institute announced that it had signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Ministry of Education to grant it the status of “institution of eminence (IDT)”.
IBE institutions enjoy full academic and administrative autonomy and are also responsible for making India a global brand in education.
These institutions can also partner with the top 500 higher education institutions abroad without prior approval from the government. Shiv Nadar University is one of the youngest on the list, which includes institutes such as IIT Bombay and IIT Delhi.
Shikhar Malhotra, Pro-Chancellor of Shiv Nadar University, said that this achievement was the result of the combined efforts of all members of the community, including students, faculties, staff, parents of our students, our alumni, and our partners.

The assessment included various legal and procedural requirements in accordance with UGC regulations and guidelines. It took into account all aspects of the university’s operation, including but not limited to the curriculum, research, faculty, campus infrastructure, student selection parameters, and the institution’s long-term vision.
