NEW DELHI: Amity University is planning to set up 10 new campuses, including three in overseas, by next year, with an aim for catering to the growing number of students.
"We will establish seven campuses in the country by August. Another three campuses will be set up overseas by 2009," Amity University Chancellor Atul Chauhan said.
The university plans to spend about Rs 300-400 crore for each campus.
According to Atul Chauhan, each campus has an outlay of about Rs 25 crore in the first phase.
The new campuses in India would come up in Ahmedabad, Bombay, Chennai, Chandigarh, Hyderabad, Indore and Kolkata.
Further, the university would set up another three campuses abroad -- in Dubai, Singapore and the US.
"The three campuses are expected to be complete by next year and our operations there will begin by August 2009," he said.
In addition, Amity is exploring opportunities for collaborating with more foreign universities.
"We have arrangements with US-based Perdue University. Through this tie-up, the students from Amity can go for training programmes in Perdue University," he said.
Without disclosing further details, Atul Chauhan pointed out that the university has been getting good response from foreign institutes for possible collaborations.
Presently, the business school has 22 campuses across the country with over 50,000 students studying in 130 programmes.
