About 300 students have enrolled at the University of Liverpool's new campus in Bengaluru, across six undergraduate and two postgraduate programmes. The Hindu reported the opening on October 18, 2026. The campus was inaugurated on October 15 in Alembic City, Whitefield. The university said it is the first Russell Group campus in Karnataka.
About 20,000 people applied. The 300 who were admitted were chosen on English and Class 12 marks. Programmes the university has listed include computer science, game design, business management, accounting and finance, and biomedical sciences. The Hindu's count of eight programmes means that list is not the whole set. The story is the campus opening and the students who are in class. It is not a ranking of universities, and it is not a promise about jobs.
