Founders

At BML Munjal University, students receive an education that incorporates advanced pedagogy and immersive experiential learning.
All the courses at BMU, undergraduate or postgraduate, are based on the outcome-based education system. Outcome based education is an educational system that is based on students achieving pre-defined goals, or outcomes as the basis of their education.
It specifies no method to attain those goals – so classes, opportunities, assessments, and instruction become a function of what is needed to achieve those outcomes.
In some ways, it mirrors in education the outcome-based orientation of the workplace. It has proved to be effective in the inculcation of competencies in students in several areas that were deemed critical. The OBE education system prepares them with Life skills, Basic skills, Professional and vocational skills, Intellectual skills, Interpersonal and personal skills.
The various undergraduate, postgraduate and postdoctoral programs offered in the University are Ph.D., MBA, B. Tech, BBA, B.A. Economics, B. Com, B.A., LL.B., B.B.A., LL.B..
At BMU, be it engineering, management, or law, it is this structured exposure to the workplace challenges that develop our students' competencies. Over 45% of the programmes time & content are focused on experiential learning.
During the programmes students are inducted into an ever-intensifying series of projects and assignments that are live ones from the real world, often in collaboration with industry or practitioners.
The practice schools refine the concept of internship to deliver valuable experience, skills, and competencies to students through the application of multi-disciplinary integrated learning to actual practical challenges from the real world of the workplace.
Throughout the programmes, there will be increasing commitment to Practice Schools with a cross-section of industry, which will be assessed and assigned credit units that will be included in the cumulative GPA.
The student-faculty ratio at BMU is maintained at 1:15, which allows the faculty and the students to develop a healthy Personalised relationship to help solve, learn challenges, and provide guidance.
BMU offers specialisations like Data Science & Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, IOT, Data Analysis, Robotics, Automation, Environmental Science, Geospatial Science, Material Science, and Nanoscience.
