What would you like people to know about your Institute they may not know?

“We strive for exceptional education”

NIPR is carving out a niche of credibility for itself in the academic arena of the Alwar region. To heighten the pyramid of excellence, the institute is loaded with modish infrastructure, user-friendly facilities. The laboratories are equipped with up-to-date equipment, highly qualified and experienced faculty possessing best practices in teaching. We are an institution with a congenial campus believing in healthy community life.

What are some in the education sector?

“To provide the students with the proper guidance and support”

Higher education is very important for growing our economy. However, higher education in India has many challenges and issues. There is inadequate focus on research in higher education institutes. There is also a huge gap in supply and demand which causes a disbalance. Student’s mental health should be a top priority for higher education providers.
