From design institute to State Private University

How Paradigm helped the Indian Institute of Art & Design become the University of Design, Innovation and Technology (UDIT), Gurugram — established by an Act of the Haryana State Legislature.

University formally established and announced

The challenge

A decade-old design school wanted to become a university

IIAD needed a bankable plan, a multidisciplinary academic identity and a path through Haryana's legislative route — where every new private university is created by amending the State Act.

Our approach

One team, four workstreams, one story to the regulator

We aligned the financial model, academic portfolio, approval dossier and governance rulebook so every document told the State Government the same, consistent story.

The impact

UDIT is now admitting students as a university

UDIT now offers B.Des, BBA, M.Des and MBA programmes from Gurugram, with governance and quality frameworks built for future NAAC and NIRF participation.

What we delivered

Four workstreams, one outcome
