It is a proud privilege to be a partof the D Y Patil University, Nerul which is one of the stellar private universities in the state of Maharashtra, with its contribution in the field of educationfor decades. Some of the schools of the University like the School of Medicine, and Ramrao Adik Institute of Technology have been established almost 4 decades ago. It gives me immense pleasure to welcome all the students to the University!

The mission of the university is to build a strong character in the learners with focus on skill development, knowledge and inculcating the right attitude and values. To enable this, we have built modern infrastructure to facilitate learning in all disciplines. With the platforms that we provide, our students are exposed to various avenues of learning and they can certainly apply this to build strong successful careers and also become wholesome individuals contributing to the growth of the nation as young citizens. For instance, the world class simulation center for our health science programs provides students with experiences that give them insight into real clinical situations in the real time world, before they embark on bedside learning.

The school of Hospitality and Tourism studies is ranked among the top 3 schools. The schools has skilling schedules with a top hospitality group. The Centre of excellence which houses the School of Public health, School of Law and Vijay Patil School of Management is a state of art facility that promises a rich teaching-learning experience. The adoption of technology in the education sphere has grown exponentially and it is the need of the hour to keep pace with it and therefore we have embarked on a mission for Digital transformation of the University to enable all stake holders to be part of the University activities. This will also make us ready for the next decade of growth and development.

The university provides equal opportunity for students to excel in both Academics and sports. The world class sports facility of which D Y Patil stadium is part has enabled the hosting of 28 IPL matches in 2022. The various schools of the University have been part of this mega event enabling the faculty and students an exposure to the event . With our course in Sports Management, Our University provides many opportunities to understand and apply the Sports theory to practice. The University has faculty with rich experience in their field and we are proud of our alumni many of whom have reached the pinnacle of their career in the national and global arena. The placement season this year has seen our students being placed in an annual salary bracket in excess of Rs 2.5 Million. What had started as a dream of the philanthropist and leader, founder chancellor Dr D Y Patil, has now grown into a modern state-of -art campus under the leadership of our Hon Chancellor, Dr Vijay D Patil.

I once again welcome our students to the university! After all it is their presence that enlivens and breathes life into our campus!
