Overview of RBU

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). Spanning 17 acres in Nagpur, Central India. RBU houses nine schools such as the School of Engineering Sciences, School of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, School of Computer Science and Engineering, School of Management, School of Humanities and Sciences, School of Innovation and Incubation, School of Indian Knowledge System (IKS), School of Languages, and School of Entrepreneurship. Offering a diverse array of undergraduate, postgraduate, Ph.D., diploma, certificate, and value-added courses, RBU blends modern and traditional knowledge systems.

RBU’s distance education programs cater to regional needs, providing quality education and skill development for local industries. Collaborations with national and international institutions and industries enhance exposure to global technologies, equipping students to compete globally. Ramdeobaba University cultivates holistic growth and empowers students to spearhead global progress, merging contemporary and traditional knowledge systems within a dynamic learning milieu.

RBU is located in Nagpur which is the third-largest city of the Indian state of Maharashtra. It is called the heart of India because of its central geographical location. Also known as, the “Orange City”, Nagpur is the 13th largest city in India.
