Now hiring.
Always learning.
Fifteen positions open across faculty, research, administration, athletics and facilities — each one a chance to shape what the next decade of Chitkara looks like.
The best university
in Punjab.
A government-recognized university with the right to confer degrees under Sections 2(f) and 22(1) of the UGC Act, 1956 — and a sprawling campus equidistant from Chandigarh, Mohali, Panchkula, Ambala and Patiala.
The University offers multi-disciplinary programs, all of which are designed to be industry-relevant. As a result of this student-centric approach, Chitkara University is renowned as one of the best private universities in the North India region. Curriculum is delivered in spacious, amphitheatre-style classrooms — fitted with modern ICT equipment — and in well-equipped, modern laboratories.
At the centre of the University's philosophical core is the commitment to excellence in education. It is this strong academic heritage, and such firmness on matters of principle, that has seen it grow from strength to strength in a remarkably short span of time.
Chitkara University, Punjab is a leading non-profit private University of India with a 'state of the heart' campus located 30 kms from Chandigarh. Since inception, Chitkara Education has been different. Our students have been different. So are our faculty, our academic strengths and our outlook on teaching and learning — the unique difference being that Chitkara has been established and managed by passionate academicians with the sole mission of making each and every student industry-ready.
Most of our academic programs are ranked among the best in the country, which speaks volumes about our strong academic heritage, highly committed faculty, extensive industry collaborations, and strong campus recruitment.

The Chitkara way of life.
There are two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.— Albert Einstein
The way
we live.
The Chitkara way is simple. We follow the road where everything is a miracle — opportunities waiting to be explored, ideas waiting to be born. We seek people who are high on life: driven by passion, anchored in team spirit, and committed to the cause of education.

In their own words.
What kept me here for eight years isn't a single thing — it's the room to teach the way I believe in, the labs I asked for and got, and colleagues who actually read each other's papers.
I came from corporate L&D and expected to slow down. Instead I run programs at a pace that would be impossible elsewhere.
Students walk in not knowing what a CNC router is and leave running their own studios. Watching that happen is amazing.
The grants pipeline here is real, the PhD students are sharper than I expected, and nobody flinches when a project pivots.
