TEERTHANKAR MAHAVEER UNIVERSITY

What TEERTHANKAR MAHAVEER UNIVERSITY does

Teerthanker Mahaveer University (TMU) is a private, trust-governed university established in 2008 and headquartered on a 130-acre campus in Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh, India. It delivers 150+ career-oriented programmes across 14 on-campus colleges spanning diploma, undergraduate, and postgraduate levels in medical, dental, engineering, computing sciences, management, law, nursing, and fine arts. Its student base extends to undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral cohorts across India, served through traditional on-campus delivery supplemented by a virtual 360° campus tour, dedicated admission portals, an alumni portal, and an internal ERP (portal.tmu.ac.in).

The university's technology footprint is centred on academic delivery infrastructure rather than software product development: an ERP portal, outcome-based education aligned with NEP 2020, and a Business Incubation Centre recognised by the UP state government. The Centre for Teaching, Learning & Development (CTLD, est. 2019) acts as a centralised skill-development unit delivering employability, communication, and placement-readiness training; the Corporate Resource Centre (CRC) runs placement drives. Research output is reported at 210+ quality papers annually, with no proprietary AI/ML models, no external APIs or SDKs, and no documented product-side software monetisation.

TMU's revenue model is tuition-anchored and recurring: primary income is programme-specific academic fees (medical and dental programmes priced higher than engineering or management) billed annually, augmented by ancillary streams from CTLD training programmes, faculty development programmes, hospital training at TMU Hospital, and placement-supported industry partnerships. Admissions are sales-led via website, call centre (1800-270-1490), WhatsApp, and campus visits; marketing is multi-channel with a 122K Instagram following, blog, news/PR, and virtual tour at top of funnel. The university is privately held under founder-led governance (Founder VC Prof. R.K. Mittal; current VC Prof. (Dr.) V.K. Jain), with NAAC A-grade (Cycle II, 2024) and NIRF Innovation 51-100 ranking (2026) as its primary third-party validations.
