Bengaluru City University

Bengaluru City University, established in 2016, represents Karnataka's strategic initiative to provide accessible quality higher education to the urban student population of India's Silicon Valley. Carved out from the erstwhile Bangalore University to better serve the educational needs of Bangalore's rapidly expanding urban areas, this government university has quickly established itself as a vital educational institution serving over 90,000 students across 40+ affiliated colleges in Bangalore Urban district.

Headquartered in the heart of Bangalore city, the university offers a comprehensive range of undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral programs across sciences, humanities, commerce, management, and computer applications. Despite being a young university, Bengaluru City University has inherited the rich academic legacy of Bangalore University while adapting to contemporary educational needs with modern curriculum design, technology integration, and industry-oriented programs.

The university has been actively working on infrastructure development, research promotion, and quality enhancement initiatives. With a focus on inclusivity, the university provides educational opportunities to students from diverse socio-economic backgrounds through government-aided colleges and scholarship programs. The institution has established research centers in emerging areas and encourages faculty and students to engage in research activities through seed funding and collaboration with industries.

Bengaluru City University's strategic location in the technology capital provides unique advantages for industry partnerships, internships, and placement opportunities for students, making it a significant contributor to Karnataka's knowledge economy and skilled workforce development.
