The ICFAI GroupPioneering Professional education for over 30 years.

ICFAI was established in 1984 as a not-for-profit society with the broad objective of empowering citizens through world class quality education. The Institute announced its arrival into the Indian education fora by launching a high end, innovative professional program in financial analysis in 1985. The Program was first-of-its-kind in India, aimed at equipping students and working professionals with cutting-edge knowledge in contemporary areas of finance. Since its establishment, ICFAI Group has made a significant mark in the Indian educational field with a pan-Indian network and presence.

Innovation has been the mainstay of ICFAI Group with innovation prevalent in its programs and even its culture. Subsequently, there was a big leap when ICFAI Group started its chain of business schools (IBS) across India in 1995 to offer management program. Since its inception, IBS has been consistently ranked among the top ranked B-Schools of India providing excellent academic delivery and infrastructure to its students and transforming them into leaders for the future.

Another example that is a testimony to the culture of innovation is the introduction of Case Study methodology at IBS. The Case Research Center at IBS, has become a center of excellence and has won several accolades across the world.

ICFAI Group has 2 Strategic Institutional Units, the ICFAI Universities and the ICFAI Business Schools. In all the programs offered across these units, the emphasis is on adherence to academic rigor and differentiated curriculum that bridges the industry – academia gap.

ICFAI Group focuses on learning rather than instruction. In addition, the institute is engaged in important areas of research covering environmental sustainability,

agricultural economics, health policy, financial economics, banking, intellectual property rights etc. There have been path-breaking research and good quality publications in these areas.

Flexible and tech enabled learning also plays an important role in ICFAI’s teaching methodology. The delivery takes place with the use of hi-tech learning management system at campus programs and content delivery for distance learning through online medium.

ICFAI Group practices the value of academic integrity at all levels. As a policy, admissions are purely based on merit and there is nothing like capitation fee et al. The fee payable is published in the application material and that remains unchanged.

The ICFAI Group’s culture of teaching and learning supports and fosters intellectual and personality development among its graduating students. They carry an attitude of ownership of their work. ICFAI Group strives to make the students - DOERS. The programs are designed such that the students & professionals graduating from the institution have the ability to take risks, make decisions and own the work. ICFAI Group strongly believes in developing an ‘entrepreneurial mindset’ among its graduating students.

At ICFAI, students inculcate research and analytical orientation due to its institutional strength and support for the research and development activities. Holistically, the student undergoes a transformative change.

The alumni of ICFAI Group are working in renowned companies world-wide. Collectively, ICFAI Group alumni contribute significantly to the growth story of India.

ANNUAL REPORT 2016-17

His Excellency,

The Hon’ble Governor of Nagaland

It gives me immense joy in presenting the Ninth Annual Report of the ICFAI University, Nagaland, for the year 2016-2017.

The ICFAI University, Nagaland has been established by an Act of Nagaland State Legislative Assembly vide Act No. 2 of 2006. The University is sponsored by ICFAI, a non-profit society, established in 1984 under the Andhra Pradesh (Telangana Areas Public Societies Registration Act 1350) Fasli (Act 1 of 1350F).

The University had its humble beginning, with six students in Management Studies, on September 3, 2007, from a hired premise in Dimapur. Since its inception, the University has been striving to impart quality-oriented holistic education. Today, it operates from its permanent campus at Sovima village, in Dimapur district. At present we offer degree courses in the areas of Humanities, Social Sciences, Management Studies, Computer Science, and Finance & Accounting; besides Certificate courses in Computer Hardware & Networking, and Banking and Insurance Management. The University lays much emphasis on skills and employability, and all our programs are tailor-made for current economic and business environment. From the Academic year 2015-16, the University has adopted the Choice based Credit System (CBCS), as per the UGC guidelines. Till date, 361 students have graduated from this University. Most of our graduates are placed in well-paid jobs, some of them have taken up entrepreneurship, and some of them are pursuing higher studies both in India and abroad.

Today, the University has carved a niche for itself in the State of Nagaland and the neighbouring states; with highly qualified teachers and excellent academic ambience, the University is held in high esteem by the students and the recruiters. This is, certainly, a sign of us moving towards the creation of ingenuous and innovative workforce for the ‘New India,’ as envisaged by the Government of India.

We are glad to place on record our gratitude for the kind support and encouragement being received from the Sponsor (the ICFAI Society), Government of Nagaland and other Governmental agencies such as ICSSR, ICPR and so on.

Please find herewith the report of the activities carried out by the University, during the year 2016-17.

About the University The ICFAI University Nagaland has been established by an Act of Nagaland State Legislative Assembly vide Act No. 2 of 2006. The University is sponsored by ICFAI, a ‘not for profit’ society, established in 1984 under the Andhra Pradesh (Telangana Areas Public Societies Registration Act 1350) Fasli (Act 1 of 1350F). The University had begun its operations on September 3, 2007, from hired premises in Dimapur, by offering courses in Management studies and IT areas.

In April 2013, the University moved into its permanent campus in Sovima, which was inaugurated by the then Hon’ble Chief Minister of Nagaland Shri Neiphiuo Rio. The University has been striving to develop value-conscious professionals in the State of Nagaland, by disseminating knowledge in various areas through innovative educational programs. To that extent the University is proud to have pioneered the introduction of Management Education and Computer Science in the State of Nagaland. Till date, 361 students have graduated from this University, and the University has a remarkable placement record.

In the year 2013, the University has become a member of the Association of Indian Universities (AIU), and in 2015 the University got the membership of the Association of Commonwealth Universities (ACU). The University was inspected by the UGC & AICTE Expert Committee on 25th & 26th of August, 2014, and is empowered by the UGC to award degrees under Section 22 of UGC Act, 1956. To cater to the needs of the local youth, from the academic session 2013-14, the University started offering courses in Humanities & Social Sciences, and in the area of Finance & Accounting. While framing the curriculum for these courses, skill orientation was the main focus; so that our graduates will be able to become effective and efficient professionals in various fields, like, Playwriters, Archaeologists, Chartered Accountants, Cost Accountants, Company Secretaries, Counsellors, Diplomats, Consultants, Entrepreneurs and so on. Currently the University offers BBA, BCA, BA, B.Com, MBA, MA, M.Phil and PhD programs, and Certificate courses in Computer Hardware & Networking and Banking and Insurance Management.

Today, the University has carved a niche for itself in the State of Nagaland and the neighbouring states. The ICFAI University, Nagaland is held in high esteem by the students and the recruiters. This growth is certainly a sign of trust that the people of Nagaland have reposed in this University, which we shall endeavour to live up to, in future too.

In the next five years, the University expects itself to be one of its kind in academic innovations and excellence, in the country; because as Swami Vivekananda reiterated, we endeavour to impart that education by which Character is formed, Strength of mind is increased, and Intellect is expanded. This is also implicit in the Vision statement of the University.

As a growing University, we have many miles to go, and we are sure, with the support of the Government and the goodwill of the people of Nagaland, the support of the Sponsor society, and well wishers, our journey to excellence and beyond will soon become a reality.
