Acharya’s BeliefAt Acharya, we believe that ‘education in its true spirit must unfold the inherent by fuelling quest’. It must encompass knowledge, skills and values.
Towards this, Acharya Instit––utes have replaced conventional one-way teaching by experiential learning; discipline is interlaced by friendly mentoring.
Acharya Institutes’ commitment to its principles and values is today evidenced through its 10 institutions of collegiate education, 6 research centres and other professional academic establishments.
The sustained successes of the Acharya students reflect the growing commitment of its astute management which is evidenced through the continuous expansion and modernization of infrastructure, enhancement of faculty eminence, expansion of academic streams and fortifying of its corporate and industry connections.
The result is seen in the flocking of students from all over the country and from over 25 countries around the world and also in the brilliance with which they leave Acharya portals, confidently entering the corporate world.
I am proud that Acharya Institutes is truly emerging as the ‘nurturing ground for leadership’. It is becoming synonymous with practical, industry-focussed education. The fact that Acharyans are today a familiar face in the higher rungs of industry and corporate sector is a demonstration of the commitment of our extremely talented faculty.
To me every young person who steps into Acharya portal has a potential for us to groom the inherent and free the intellect.
I welcome your interest and promise you the very best at Acharya.

Research Projects at Acharya - Innovative
Internationally the reputation of an academic institution rests on the original research work that its faculty and students successfully undertake. True academic research as part of learning, leads students to get a firm grounding on the thought processes, implementation methodologies and application of technologies to probe further into the chosen subject of study.
Acharya Institutes emphatically encourage this quest in the students’ minds and has put up extensive academic and physical infrastructure for this purpose. Students at Acharya Institutes, across streams of academics are engaged in original investigative and analytical research work through faculty guidance and assistance. While some such work lead to curricular accomplishments, some have even led the students to present papers in national and international seminars.

Teaching faculty to an academic institution is like reinforcement to a concrete structure. Acharya’s imposing physical infrastructure is fortified with this innate academic strength.
As a home for professional and advanced academic learning, Acharya Institutes has an excellent teacher-student ratio which averages to about 1:10. Not just the numbers, the teachers are both young and experienced at the same time. They are driven by a fire to excel in their profession with extensive support systems they are provided with such as knowledge resources and career advancement incentives. Learned and eminent as they are, most of them find themselves empaneled in University Committees and other academic regulatory bodies.
They are versatile, too. They are also active in extra curricular spheres such as theatre, art, social work, sports, etc. which are inspirations that the Acharya students can draw upon in their overall growth.

The two-three day camps are rigorous comprising of Group Discussions, Games, Exercises, Yoga and Meditation, Presentations, Outdoor activities such as trekking, rafting, bridge building and camp fire.
The Participants get to learn to convert their aspirations into realities, discipline their life, pick up presentation and articulation skills, learn to effectively utilise time and energy, listening, concentration and grasping skills, developing clarity and focus in thoughts, manage stress, leadership traits etc. Perceptible change in the participants’ disposition is noticed on completion of these programmes.
