UK-based graduates include Gaggan Sabherwal, an MA Television Journalism graduate and India UK Achievers Honours recipient who is now a senior reporter at the BBC, and Aufa Karnalkar, an LLM International Trade and Commercial Law graduate working as an independent legal professional and academic tutor.

Among the undergraduate graduates, Design, Creative and Performing Arts, Business & Management, Computing, and Allied Health Sciences were the leading disciplines. At postgraduate level, Computing, Business & Management, and Engineering & Technology had the highest representation.

Stephen Williams, Director, NTU Global, said the university was proud of its Indian students and their contribution to the university community, adding that graduation marked the beginning of their next chapter as members of the NTU alumni network.

Among the graduates was Ramita Eswarappa, who completed a Bachelor of Architecture (Hons). She said her time at NTU helped her develop academic and soft skills through networking and teamwork, while providing opportunities to explore her interests and identity.

NTU said its focus on career readiness is reflected in its graduate employability rankings. The university is ranked among the top five universities in the UK for employability in the Uni Compare 2027 rankings and among the top 10 in the UK for Career Prospects in the Whatuni Student Choice Awards 2026. According to The Guardian University Guide 2026, 76% of NTU students progress to graduate-level employment or further training within 15 months of graduating.

“Technology must not merely serve industry; it must serve nation-building. The defining measure of excellence should be not simply how high an IIT rises, but how much of Bharat rises with it. The IIT of 2047 must be a university without intellectual walls, a national research engine, an innovation foundry, an entrepreneurship platform, a teacher multiplier, a technological living laboratory, a global knowledge node and a public institution accountable to society. Its success must be judged by how many teachers, institutions and communities become stronger because it chose to share its knowledge, infrastructure and opportunities.”

“Education is not just a process of formal skilling for employment, it is also the process through which a citizenry is created. We become voters after being students. Our claim to be a democracy, and even the mother of democracy, appears hollow when our students are denied their rights to unionise and be represented in the administration of higher education institutions. Critical thinking and freedom of expression, which are pillars of academia, cannot be limited to the classroom. An elected student body enables authorities to have a meaningful conversation with legitimate representatives of students. Students are demanding a voice, in their educational institutions to begin with, and in the uppermost echelons of politics if need be.”

- Kanhaiya Kumar, The Indian Express, (13/8)
