About REVA University

REVA University was established in 2012 under the Karnataka State Private Universities Act, run by the Rukmini Educational Charitable Trust. It sits on a 45-acre campus at Rukmini Knowledge Park, Kattigenahalli, in Yelahanka, north Bengaluru. As a private state university it awards its own degrees rather than being affiliated to VTU, and it sets its own syllabus and examinations.

REVA is recognised by the UGC, approved by AICTE, and accredited by NAAC with an A+ grade. In NIRF 2025 it was placed in the 251-300 band for engineering (figures vary by source; the university-wide NIRF rank is reported around 151-200). REVA offers 100+ programmes across engineering, management, law, architecture, commerce, science and other schools.
