Exploration beyond the classroom
Campus Life
At Azim Premji University, we believe that learning is a process that extends beyond the classroom.
You will have the chance to build meaningful relationships and learn to live with people who come from different places and backgrounds. Our vibrant campus always has something to do.
Latest on Campus | CRX Mela Nov 2023
A great opportunity to come together and celebrate the power of the arts and sports to transform lives and bring people together, the CRX Mela is a celebration of creativity, self-expression, and physicality with a focus on the learning process. Our students will be showcasing their music, dance, art, craft, games and theatre.
Listen to Evan Hastings explain about the different Creative Expressions (CRX) courses offered at the University. This recording is a part of the talk at the Undergraduate Open House (information session) held in October 2023:

Creative Expressions
We all relate to the world not only through intellect but also with our bodies and creative abilities. The Creative Expressions course at Azim Premji University is a set of courses and workshops, where you will explore aesthetic, physical, and expressive traditions.
Students choose workshops in art, music, theatre, dance, and sports or fitness. They will develop a guided self-study and choose to learn a sport, art, or craft. You could make a performance, produce a piece of work or build a portfolio.
At the end of the Creative Expressions course, the students put up a Mela for the University Community. Here, noted artist Suresh Kumar introduces the recent CRX Mela put up at the campus.
Celebrating Colours of Different Abilities
The University celebrated the International Day of Persons with Disabilities on 6 December 2022 with a theme that stands very close to the mission and vision of Azim Premji University, i.e., Transformative solutions for inclusive development: The role of innovation in fuelling an accessible and equitable world.
