Assam Down Town University

The Downtown Charity Trust had a strong desire to make quality education available at an affordable price for Indian citizens in the North-East of the country. So in 2010, this Trust founded the Assam Downtown University (ADTU), which is a multi-disciplinary university. The location of this university is Panikhaiti, Chandrapur, which is in the Guwahiti city. It is separated from Dispur, the capital city of Assam, by 12 kilometres. It is the first of its kind in this region, and modern methods and ideas are used to construct this state-of-the-art university.

ADTU is a unique mix of academic and professional excellence. It is based on a sturdy foundation of the experience of noted academicians and top industry personnel. They always promote a realistic attitude towards life and its challenges in the minds of students. This university is the biggest educational complex in Assam, which is evident from the facts that it shelters more than 8,000 students and more than 250 faculty members. The campus extends on an 80-acre stretch of land on the hills of Panikhaiti.

Students from India and foreign countries are enrolled in the Assam Downtown University. So, it has quickly become the centre of cultural and ethnic diversity. These students have an edge over their peers because this university always emphasizes on institute-industry interactions, student diversity, confirmed placement, world-class infrastructure, student exchange programs, research and sophisticated teaching methods.

ADTU has a Placement department to manage campus placements. This department assists students to find employment through campus recruitments, off-campus recruitments and pooled campuses. It invites institutes, organisations and industries from varying sectors that are compatible to the academic levels of students. This Placement wing has excellent infrastructure to cater to every stage of the recruitment process. This is inclusive of group discussions, mock interviews and pre-placement talks.

Assam Downtown University conducts the Common Scholarship Test (CST), which is an MCQ-based examination at the national and the international level. Based on the outcome of this test, the scholarship amount is disbursed. This university also offers scholarships in the following categories:

• Meritorious
• Arts & Culture
• Sports
• Specially-abled
• ADTU Alumni
• Economically Weaker Section (EWS)/Below Poverty Line (BPL)
