From the leadership
Education is the surest way to turn the talent of Maharashtra’s villages and towns into leadership for the nation. Our university was founded to make that journey possible for every student, whatever their background.
We combine rigorous fundamentals with hands-on practice. I invite you to learn, question and build here — and to leave as a graduate who serves society with skill and integrity.
Transparency and student service guide our administration. For admissions records, verification and any information, the Registrar’s Office is always one email away.

Dear students, parents and friends,
A university is more than classrooms and laboratories. It is a promise that a young person from a small town, a village or a farm can walk in with a dream and walk out with the skills, character and confidence to change their world.
Nashik is a land of the Godavari, ancient caves and hard-working families. We draw strength from this heritage and look firmly to the future — technology, research, enterprise and service — so that our graduates are not only employable, but also honest, curious and kind.
Together, let us build an institution that Maharashtra and India are proud of.
Ashish Kumar
Chairman & Chancellor, Nashik University, Maharashtra
A university of national standing — recognised for excellence, innovation and service — where every learner, from city or village, grows into a capable, responsible and compassionate citizen.
