Technology Infrastructure

In consonance with our core principle ‘Technology-based’, NU uses the best of the digital tools, techniques and practices to increase effectiveness of the teaching-learning process, research and campus living. This helps students in gaining higher levels of knowledge and expertise in the time spent at the University. Usage of these digital tools is also expected to inculcate the habit of self-initiated learning among the students. By integrating technology in the design and delivery of content, creating a collaborative learning environment and using cutting edge assessment tools, we intend to create a personalised learning environment for our students.
