Bennett University Courses & Fees 2026: Complete Guide to UG, PG, PhD, Diploma & Certificate Programmes

Bennett University Greater Noida was established by The Times Group in 2016. It has grown into one of North India's most talked-about private universities. It offers engineering, management, law, design, media, and computer applications. It also offers liberal arts and pure sciences under one roof.

With 120+ programmes across eight academic schools, the 2026 course catalogue is wide. It covers almost every stream a student may be looking for. Options range from a classic B.Tech in Computer Science Engineering to niche choices. These include a PG Diploma in TV and Digital Journalism. It also includes a dual M.Tech plus PhD track.

This guide covers courses, fees, eligibility, entrance exams, and admission details. It does this stream by stream, in one place. So, you do not need to search across many tabs for the full picture.

Bennett University Admissions 2026 — Quick Update

Admissions for the 2026 academic session are now open. They cover undergraduate, postgraduate, diploma, and doctoral programmes. Counselling will run in several rounds. A few pointers for anyone tracking dates:

  • UG and PG applications are being processed on a rolling basis through several counselling rounds.
  • MBA aspirants who have taken MAT can register for the September 2026 cycle. Note that the pen-and-paper test closes registrations earlier than the computer-based version.
  • If you are applying via NMAT, CAT, or ATMA for MBA/PGDM programmes, each exam has its own schedule. Registration and results run between August and September 2026. Do not assume the dates will match.
  • CLAT-based applicants for B.A. LL.B. (Hons.) or BBA LL.B. (Hons.) have a registration window that stretches into late October 2026.
  • CMAT aspirants planning for the next cycle should watch for new registration updates around October 2026.

Entrance-exam and counselling schedules change each admission cycle. So, check the latest dates on Bennett University's official admissions portal before you finalise anything.

Academic Schools at Bennett University

Rather than offering one simple, flat list of departments, Bennett University organises its programmes across eight specialised schools. Each school supports a cluster of related courses.

  • School of Artificial Intelligence
  • School of Computer Science Engineering & Technology
  • School of Engineering & Applied Sciences
  • School of Management
  • School of Law
  • School of Liberal Arts
  • School of Design
  • Times School of Media

This school-wise structure is worth knowing. It explains why BTech CSE, BCA, MCA, and M.Tech sit close together. A programme like the PG Diploma in TV and Digital Journalism is different. It runs under the Times School of Media. It also has direct industry ties to Times Network.

Streams Offered at Bennett University

Academic offerings at Bennett stretch across:

  • Engineering
  • Artificial Intelligence & Data-driven disciplines
  • Business & Management Studies
  • Mass Communication & Media
  • Law
  • IT & Software / Computer Applications
  • Design
  • Accounting & Commerce
  • Banking, Finance & Insurance
  • Humanities & Social Sciences
