Ramdeobaba University (RBU) is a self-financed University approved by Government of
Maharashtra and University Grant Commission, New Delhi. It stands as a testament to a forty-
year educational journey, rooted in the cultivation of human potential with a strong emphasis on
universal values. Formerly known as Shri Ramdeobaba College of Engineering and Management
(RCOEM), the university inherits a rich legacy from its predecessor.
Established in 1984 by the Shri Ramdeobaba Sarvajanik Samiti, Nagpur, under the visionary
leadership of founding Chairman Shri Banwarilal Purohit, RCOEM saw a transformative era under
the stewardship of Shri Satyanarayan Nuwal, CEO of Solar Group of Industries, recognized
among India's top 100 CEOs. This leadership propelled RCOEM to national prominence, evident
through its high NIRF ranking, A+ NAAC grade, Diamond Rating by QS I-Gauge, Innovative
Campus Award, National Employability Award, and various other accolades.
Bolstered by a robust startup ecosystem and five Centers of Excellence in collaboration with
industry giants like Tata Technologies and NVIDIA, RCOEM provided students with exposure
to cutting-edge technologies. Its alumni, comprising unicorn founders and leaders in global
organizations, further enriched its legacy.
In pursuit of broader progress, RCOEM has now evolved into Ramdeobaba University (RBU).
