Nanyang Technological University Business School in Singapore

Education works as a tool to pave the way in the world, and in a country like India where the society majorly emphasises its importance, it becomes crucial for students to seek the best. In the recent years, a surge is seen in the statistics of Indian students going abroad for studies- business schools remaining the most sought after arena. The Nanyang Technological University of Singapore (NTU) Business School and Nanyang Business School (NTU) are the top-ranked business schools in Singapore.

Nanyang Technological Institute (NTI) was set up on 1 August 1981 with a charter to train three-quarters of Singapore’s engineers.

When NTI started in 1982, it had a total student population of 582 in three engineering disciplines – civil and structural, electrical and electronic, and mechanical and production engineering. By 1990, the institute’s undergraduate student population had grown to 6,832. The first two graduate students were admitted in 1986.

Three engineering schools were added, and the School of Accountancy from the National University of Singapore was transferred to NTI in 1987. A school of applied science was also started. In 1990, the government announced that the Institute of Education would be merged with the College of Physical Education to form the National Institute of Education and that it would be part of the new NTU upon its establishment in 1991.
