Overview
About Brainware University
Brainware University is an university in Barasat, West Bengal, established in 2016. Brainware University is privately managed and self-financing. It is affiliated to Brainware University. Brainware University offers 17 programmes, 9 at undergraduate level and 4 at postgraduate level. These include School of Engineering: B.Tech. and related programmes (UG), School of Computational & Applied Sciences: computer applications and computational programmes (UG), School of Management & Commerce: management and commerce programmes (UG), School of Medical and Allied Health Sciences: allied-health programmes (UG) and School of Medical and Allied Health Sciences: pharmacy programmes (UG), among others. Brainware University is a West Bengal state-private university established under Act XXXI of 2015, effective 25 February 2016, and is officially described as UGC-recognised under Sections 2(f) and 22. The official recognition page lists Barasat and Salt Lake campuses. The 2024-25 annual report states that the university has 70+ programmes, advanced laboratories, 157 industry MoUs, and is recognised as a Scientific & Industrial Research Organisation, but it does not provide a machine-readable university-wide faculty total or student-faculty ratio in the retrieved text. The 75% attendance rule is explicitly for PhD coursework, not established here as a university-wide rule. Established under The Brainware University Act, 2015 (West Bengal Act XXXI of 2015); the Act was published on 27 January 2016 and came into force on 25 February 2016. The university website also identifies a Salt Lake location, but no separately verified UGC off-campus approval was found, so it is not recorded as a separate sibling or approved campus. Official pages describe the sponsoring trust as SDET and the wider group as Brainware of West Bengal. No official NAAC grade, NBA programme accreditation, AISHE code, 12(B) letter, or NIRF rank was verified. The university was absent from the opened UGC February 2026 fake-university and defaulting-private-university lists.
