WORLD
BEYOND BOOKS

Massive disruptions, intense competitiveness, amplified focus on sustainability and highly volatile global dynamics are the truth of our times. At Navrachana University we are acutely aware that students who want to be successful in their professional and personal life, need to possess more than just academic knowledge.

They need to become team players and refine their creative skills to be able to solve new-age challenges. They need to nurture and grow their social, psychological, emotional, and ethical quotients. They need to internalise the lessons that playing a sport teaches - that victory and losses are sides of the same coin and not to get disheartened by setbacks. Thus, at Navrachana we focus on holistic development of our students that goes beyond books and includes art, culture, sports, student-organized seminars, field trips, etc.

What Students Say

Navrachana helped me grow overall, manage my studies with extracurricular activities and made me a complete student. By the time I graduated, I was ready for the outside world. It helped me finesse my leadership qualities and it was one of the best times of my career until now.

Binyaz Ilavia

BSc Biochemistry (2015-18)
MSc Life Science (2018-20)

I had the opportunity to present at an international conference, get hands-on training programs, go on field trips which helped me discover my capabilities and also make new connections. The pedagogy keeps pace with current trends and technology, helping students be more creative and engaged in their courses. Along with the course work, it was fun participating in co-curricular activities. The learnings, club activities and festival celebrations at NUV will always be cherished.

Harsh Shah

MSc Life Science (2018-20)

Education is all about exploring our inner abilities and learning new things. During the last four years, I have accumulated a wealth of knowledge and experience through both - practical and theoretical exposure. I have not only learned things - but also applied it in real world scenarios. I can't thank enough, the diligent and supportive staff at the University, who has helped empower me through all aspects of personality development.

Sports

While the canteen is inviting, and a bag of chips even more so, the University invites you to stay fit and healthy too. The campus has a volleyball court, table tennis, cricket and football equipment, along with indoor sports and recreational activities.

Art & Culture

A world beyond books must include Art & Culture with a dose of fun and lots of joy. Here are two of NUV's most anticipated cultural events:

NUV Khelaiya

Every year Gujarat comes alive and celebrates Navratri with great style and pomp! It is no different on our campus during NUV Khelaiya – students celebrate with dizzying fervor either doing the garba or cheering their friends while enjoying the festivities.

NUEVA

The annual youth fest of the University is a celebration of youth. It is a showcase of self-expressions and creative instincts with activities that span a wide spectrum of interests, including Rangoli, Sketching, Painting, Robotics Cars, Recycled Scrap Art, Singing, Dance, Fashion Shows and more.

Job Creators

At Navrachana we encourage our students to be trailblazers, embrace entrepreneurial thinking and make a difference for the betterment of society, by becoming job creators rather than job seekers.

Spirit of Innovation and Startup

Navrachana University, in order to support the spirit of Innovation and Startups has collaborated with Student Startup and Innovation Policy, a Government of Gujarat initiative, and created a fund of INR 150 lakh spread over five years of implementation. NUV will support proof of concepts and IPR publications in this endeavor. The funds will be utilized to promote innovations leading to entrepreneurial ventures.

The idea is to support capacity building workshops and events which will imbue the spirit of innovation and startups in NUV students, staff and faculty, and help create Job Creators instead of Job Seekers.

Khoj Program

Through Khoj, an interdisciplinary program, the University provides students with the opportunity to focus on community issues, alongside the chance to work with fellow students from across the campus, hone their problem-solving skills and create practical social innovations.

Technical Festivals

At Navrachana University, we believe a well-rounded education must be aided by interactions with industry experts with real-world experience.

Entrepreneurship Summit, 2020

School of Business and Law organized the Second Entrepreneurship Summit on 7-8 February 2020. The Summit provided a unique opportunity for young and potential entrepreneurs to interact with local business leaders and successful entrepreneurs.

Phrenics

Phrenics sessions are a series of interactive sessions hosted by students, wherein the experts and students deliver a talk, enhancing the knowledge of all. Its nature of being out-of-the-box makes it an attractive segment of our activities. Phrenics also includes a unique segment called 'How does a city work?' followed by science-based fun games.
