amite university::Its chancellor, atul chauhan, says dubai is one of 25 countries in which the university plans to set up over the next four to five years.
In india, the university a family foundation run as a nonprofit institution has four campuses with more than 80,000 students.
The dubai opening is a sign that the sector may be picking up after a quiet couple of years.
According to dr warren fox, head of higher education at the knowledge and human development authority, the university regulator, the recession starved many universities of the resources to expand into the region.
Amity, however, is an addition he relishes.
With a range of offerings to rival any other in the emirate, he says it will fill a void.
Amity has adapted to the environment, says mr chauhan.
Amity, meanwhile, will offer a diverse range of science and engineering courses, from forensic science to solar and alternative energy, including nuclear science, nanotechnology and aerospace engineering.
The university will also dedicate much effort to research, an area the country still lacks.
It is working with around 200 local companies to identify the areas most needed.
It plans to hire 80 academics in the first year alone, and is hoping its reasonable fees between dh25,000 and dh35,000 a year will allow it to launch with 600 students.
Dr fox suggests, though, that 200 may be a more realistic estimate.
Their research will help our research capacity here and the subjects they offer will certainly fit well with the strategic goals of dubai.
Bits pilani, though, insists its new neighbour is welcome.
M riazuddin, its director of admissions, said the institution, which has more than 1,600 students at its diac campus, was not afraid of the competition.
