NIIT University at Jaipur by Space Design ConsultantsThe 100-acre NIIT University campus is nestled in the Aravali range in Rajasthan, considered the oldest fold mountain range in the world. A Master Plan ought to take cognizance of the needs of the site as well as the requirements of the University.
