WILP- Manglayatan University (Working Professional)

What WILP- Manglayatan University (Working Professional) does

Mangalayatan University's Work Integrated Learning Programme (WILP), established by Act No. 32 of 2006 of the Uttar Pradesh State Legislature, delivers part-time, UGC-recognized engineering degrees targeted at working professionals in India. The program offers three product lines — M.Tech (postgraduate, 2 years), B.Tech (undergraduate, lateral entry), and Diploma engineering programs — across five core disciplines (Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics, Computer Science), with newer CSE specializations in AI & ML, Data Science, Cyber Security, and Cloud Computing. Delivery is hybrid: weekend and evening on-campus classes at the 72-acre Aligarh (Beswan) campus combined with recorded lecture replay through an in-house Learning Management System, plus Saturday on-campus labs or virtual lab simulations for hands-on work.

The customer base consists of employed engineers and technical professionals who enter through lateral entry schemes to complete degree requirements without leaving their jobs. Semester tuition is published at ₹36,000 for M.Tech, ₹40,000-41,000 for B.Tech (with CSE specializations at the higher tier), and ₹24,000 for Diploma, plus a ₹1,000 per-semester exam fee and a one-time ₹1,000 application fee. Go-to-market is sales-led and content-driven: direct online application via the WILP website, downloadable brochures, SEO-oriented blog content, and a partnership channel that funnels employees from corporate employers (R Systems, Genpact, Accenture, Infosys, Capgemini, IndusInd Bank). Ancillary revenue includes per-semester examination fees and one-time application fees.

WILP currently serves 2,500+ active students drawn from a 10,000+ alumni base, delivered by 100+ faculty from top institutions. Operations are India-only with no disclosed revenue figures; financial estimates must rely on enrollment and pricing proxies rather than primary disclosures.
