As the country’s first Liberal Arts and Sciences university, Ashoka is a transformational initiative.
We have introduced a new pedagogy for Indian higher education – one that is not just interdisciplinary, but also fosters critical thinking, with a focus on research and knowledge creation.

Ashoka, today, has a distinctive undergraduate programme. The Ashoka advantage gives students the skills to see the big picture – to critically analyse, to question, interpret and craft compelling arguments and find solutions.

Our corridors are home to a diverse set of people: scholars, artists, writers and thinkers. They come from not just every corner of the India, but from countries across the world.

We continue on this journey – of building an inclusive institution of teaching and research excellence, at par with the best in the world.

We are proud to nurture the next generation of leaders for India and the world.
