The University was set up in 2011 by the Shiv Nadar Foundation, a philanthropic foundation established by Mr. Shiv Nadar, founder of HCL. The University is in the quest to become a globally acclaimed center for learning and innovation in the fields of Engineering, Natural Sciences, Humanities & Social Sciences, and Management. The core of the University consists of a select, world-class faculty with doctoral and postdoctoral experiences from ranked universities worldwide.
Shiv Nadar Institution of Eminence has recently been selected as one of the ten private Institutions of Eminence by the Government. In the NIRF (Government’s National Institutional Ranking Framework), the University has been the youngest institution in the 'top 100' Overall list. In NIRF-2022, it ranked 61 in the 'University' category. Shiv Nadar University has been accredited with a Grade ‘A’ by NAAC (National Assessment and Accreditation Council), valid for five years from 26 November 2019. It is also among a select group of greenfield institutions in the country that was awarded the prestigious Atal Incubation Center grant by the NITI Aayog, Government of India, in the very first round in 2017.
The Department of Mathematics is committed to pursuing research on fundamental and applied problems through an interdisciplinary research approach. The Department of Physics has state-of-the-art laboratory infrastructure and instrumental facilities for synthesis and characterization of bulk/thin films of various materials and their applications.

About the Mathematics Department:

The Department strives to explore new and emerging transdisciplinary knowledge domains relevant to societal benefits and sustainable development goals such as Human-Nature interaction and Artificial Intelligence. Some frontier areas in which the faculty has reputed publications include Complex Systems Modeling, Statistical Learning, Minimal Surfaces, and Mathematical Finance. The Department's engagement with these emerging learning paradigms promotes novel dimensions to our research focus that transcends to the Doctoral program, which has these as thrust areas, in addition to modern regions of Functional Analysis, Algebra, Optimization, and Geometry.
The Department was conferred the DST-FIST grant in 2015 for setting up a Departmental Research Computer Lab and a dedicated Department Library.
