The program has been designed to develop academic depth as well as skill sets and mindsets that will stay with the students through their life, irrespective of the career paths they choose. In each of their 4 years, students will be required to take a few core classes (across disciplines), as well as choose electives in various fields of study.
You will embark on an exciting first year where you will unlearn certain old habits (e.g. rote learning), learn new skills and mindsets (e.g. interdisciplinary thinking, maker mindset, teamwork), and rekindle your innate qualities (e.g. curiosity, asking 'why', creativity). You will also develop foundational technical, social and humanistic understanding that will be core to every Plakshan.
In the second year, you will continue your process of discovery and play an increasingly active role in charting your journey. You will opt for a major of your choice, and be guided by a faculty advisor in this important decision. Later in the year, you will start to go deeper in your major, and also pick a real-world problem area of your interest.
In the third year, you will focus on developing deep expertise in an area, which not only involves building deep knowledge, but also developing the right skill sets to build impactful solutions. You will find yourself connecting the dots through an eclectic mix of classes at the intersection of technology, sciences and liberal arts.
This year will be an opportunity to combine your knowledge, passion and skills to go deeper in tackling an inspiring problem area. Working in interdisciplinary teams on a real-world problem at a company, research institution, non-profit or your own start-up, you will also be free to adventure through advanced electives in areas related or unrelated to your major.

We welcome applications from students coming from commerce and humanities backgrounds for our major Data Science, Business and Economics, as long as they have studied Mathematics upto grade 12.
Yes, students can apply with their predicted Class 12 scores. Students who apply using only predicted scores may be required to go through an extra stage of evaluation.
The ideal students for this major should have a strong interest in math, data and programming, along with excitement to apply these in the context of business, economy and society. Having studied mathematics in Classs 11 and 12 is an eligibility requirement. It is important to note that this major is different from a pure business degree or a pure economics degree. This major has a strong data science core upon which the applications in business and economics are built, to create a cutting edge four year interdisciplinary program. A strong interest in Mathematics, Programming and Data Science along with an interest in Economics and Business is hence desirable.
We will accept applications in multiple rounds. You can submit your application only once. For example, if you have submitted your application in Round 2, you can't apply in Round 3 or Round 4. We encourage you to apply as early as possible.
Plaksha strives to bring together curious tinkerers and problem-solvers with a natural tendency to ask questions, explore concepts, and an openness to learning, wired with a risk-taking attitude. At Plaksha, we are committed to admitting the brightest minds coming from all walks of life. A student at Plaksha will be encouraged to wear multiple hats which will be facilitated by the interdisciplinary nature of the curriculum. This warrants an incoming student to demonstrate strong academic rigor along with the ability to communicate their thoughts and ideas effectively. We understand that these intrinsic qualities cannot be measured through marks alone and therefore believe in going beyond the mark sheet with our holistic selection process.
The campus is ready. Campus tours are organized at regular intervals. The link is announced on the home page.
Plaksha undergraduate education experience is designed to be fully residential and all students will be required to stay on campus. We believe that living on campus will be a significant part of the overall student experience.
Our partner institutions are truly invested in our mission to reimagine technology education and research, and this shared mission lies at the heart of the partnership. Our partners are deeply engaged with us in the entire process of institution building, including design and delivery of the curriculum, faculty and student exchange, and joint research. Our partners believe that such interdisciplinary programs are the future of education. In fact, one of their key interests is that if the programs are successful, they can actually be taken back to their own institution as well. In that sense, what is happening at Plaksha is truly rigorous and relevant.
We will ask students to indicate their preference. However, students will have an option to apply for a switch at the end of the first year. The freshman year is intentionally designed to be almost entirely common between the degrees, so that students have an opportunity to be exposed to different options and make an informed choice.
Engineering degrees are traditionally focused on one discipline - e.g. Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering. However, real-world applications lie at the intersection of various disciplines. For example, building a robot lies at the intersection of computer science, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering. Creating a medical implant lies at the intersection of biology, material science, electrical engineering and other disciplines. An interdisciplinary engineering education means that our degrees are thoughtfully designed to dismantle walls between disciplines and prepare students to make impact on the toughest problems faced by our planet. Each of the degrees we are offering are cutting-edge and are not constrained by the boundaries of one discipline.
It will be a 4 year BTech degree program.
Private Universities (unlike private engineering colleges) as per law do not require AICTE approval. Our academic programs are designed and developed by an Academic Advisory Board from leading global Universities, and are benchmarked to international standards.
The Office of Corporate Partnerships and Careers (CPC) looks at internships, placement opportunities and training for career advancement of students.

Students are stepping into roles at top global firms such as Arcesium, Boston Consulting Group, Flipkart, Fractal, Info Edge and McKinsey. They will be working in artificial intelligence, data science, robotics, market analytics and product management. 100% of Plaksha graduates who were interested in industry placements have received offers.
