Overview
About Indian Institute for Human Settlements (IIHS) Bengaluru
Indian Institute for Human Settlements (IIHS) Bengaluru is an university in Bengaluru, Karnataka, established in 2025. It is affiliated to Indian Institute for Human Settlements (IIHS) Bengaluru. Indian Institute for Human Settlements (IIHS) Bengaluru offers 4 programmes at postgraduate level. They are Faculty/School of Science: 3 programmes (PG), Faculty/School of Arts and Humanities: 2 programmes (PG), University-wide Doctoral Programme: 1 programme (Doctoral) and Master’s programmes. IIHS is an Institution Deemed to be University in Bengaluru, recognised by the UGC and launched in 2025. Official 2026 materials describe five two-year residential Master's programmes and a five-year fully funded PhD in Urban Studies and Practice; the 2026 academic session commenced on 31 August 2026. The official people page lists 19 faculty members by the stated ranks (2 professors, 5 associate professors and 12 assistant professors); adjunct faculty are not included in that total. The institution also reports 1,500+ publications, 90,000+ citations and 200+ projects, but no exact patent count or funded-project details were published in the reviewed official material. No official university-level attendance rule, examination pattern, medium of instruction, laboratory count, teaching hospital, clinical tie-up or dated industry MoU was identified. The UGC search result identifies the institution as a deemed-to-be university in Bengaluru, Karnataka; the official website names Aromar Revi as Vice-Chancellor. Identity repaired: the UGC deemed-university list names the degree-awarding institution “Indian Institute for Human Settlements (IIHS) Bengaluru” at the Sadashivanagar address, with designation year 2025. The university’s current admissions and university pages brand it “IIHS (Institution Deemed to be) University.” The official university site states that the original Indian Institute for Human Settlements is the sponsoring/foundational body, established in 2008, and is distinct from the university; therefore 2008 is not used as the university’s established year. The 54-acre Kengeri site is described by the university as an additional teaching-learning campus under development, not a separate university. No NIRF rank/category, NAAC grade, NBA programme, AISHE code, UGC 12(B) inclusion, DEB recognition, affiliated-college count or regulator-sanctioned intake was supported by the official pages opened. The university has no UG programmes in the current 2026-27 official admissions material; it lists five Master’s programmes and one interdisciplinary PhD.
