Benefits of Studying at MIT World Peace University

The Sprawling campus and infrastructure

The first feature anyone notices about a college or university is its campus. MIT-WPU has a sprawling campus covering about 65 acres in Pune's central residential area, Kothrud. Not only is it known for its humongous campus, but the college is also home to more than 350+ digital classrooms, which can accommodate more than 15,000 students at a time.

Classrooms are where daily lectures go on. What about international seminars, workshops, and guest lectures that go beyond the confines of classrooms? Students, staff, and faculty have access to multimedia auditoriums, where academic and all other events occur.

Hi-tech labs and library

Next comes the pride of MIT-WPU, the subsea lab dedicated to civil and petroleum engineering students learning about industrial safety, oil processing, and more. They can run simulations at this lab, which has sea-like architecture. So, why is it a massive deal for MIT-WPU to have this on campus? The subsea lab is the first in Asia, while the other two are in the USA. What a great way for students to get equipped at such a research marvel. There are two libraries – the Central and World Peace Library with over one lakh printed books and e-resources.

Medical, sports, and hostel facilities

MIT-WPU has excellent medical facilities 24/7, helping everyone, including students and staff, and everyone is given immediate medical attention in case of emergencies.

Launchpad Speaker Series brings industrial experts and business owners to speak about their experience at MIT-WPU to inspire future entrepreneurs from the campus.

Industrial partnerships

MIT-WPU believes that students need to know more than what's in their textbooks. Therefore, to improve their performances and understanding of how various industries work in the real world, MIT has partnered with Tata Technologies, IBM, Skoda, NVidia, Glenmark, Mercedes Benz, and Michelin, to name a few.
