Positioning itself at the forefront of next-generation higher education, Adani University has unveiled a sweeping overhaul of its Engineering, Science and Management curricula for the 2026-27 academic year, embedding Artificial Intelligence across disciplines to prepare graduates for an economy increasingly driven by intelligent technologies.
The redesigned academic framework seeks to develop AI-ready professionals by combining cutting-edge technological competencies with strong ethical values, multidisciplinary learning and extensive hands-on industry exposure.
At the heart of the transformation is the introduction of “AI for Engineers,” a compulsory course that will provide every Engineering and Science student with foundational knowledge of Artificial Intelligence, prompt engineering and ethical AI practices. Beyond the standalone course, AI concepts and applications have been integrated throughout the curriculum to ensure graduates are equipped for an AI-enabled future.
The Faculty of Management Sciences has simultaneously revamped its flagship MBA in Infrastructure Management, introducing emerging domains such as Artificial Intelligence, Analytics, ESG and Indian Knowledge Systems while expanding sector-specific specialisations, internships and capstone projects to strengthen industry relevance.
Developed after extensive benchmarking with leading institutions in India and overseas, and through consultations with academicians and industry experts, the revised curriculum aligns with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, emphasising knowledge creation, employability, innovation and holistic student development.
Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS) have been embedded into the academic framework through a compulsory credit-based course alongside discipline-specific integrations, enabling students to explore India’s scientific heritage, philosophy, ethics and sustainable practices.
Experiential learning forms another cornerstone of the curriculum redesign. Students will undertake three structured internships during their academic journey, beginning with a community service internship after the first year, followed by a professional development internship after the second year and an industry internship after the third year.
The University has also expanded academic flexibility by offering MOOCs, interdisciplinary electives and opportunities to pursue Minor Degrees alongside Major programmes in emerging fields such as Robotics, VLSI Design and Financial Data Analytics.
Further strengthening practical learning, project-based courses developed by e-Yantra, IIT Bombay, focusing on hardware development and software programming, have been incorporated into the curriculum. Studio Learning modules introduced from the first year will encourage innovation, design thinking and real-world problem-solving.
Complementing academic excellence, the University has introduced a credit-based course on Yoga, Health and Hygiene and established a comprehensive mental wellness support system offering students round-the-clock access to qualified counsellors.
The curriculum redesign reflects Adani University’s vision of nurturing future-ready professionals capable of leading technological transformation while contributing responsibly and meaningfully to society.
