CMR University Degree

CMR University, established in 2013 in Bengaluru, is a private university recognised by the University Grants Commission (UGC) under Section 2(f) of the UGC Act. Founded by Dr. K.C. Ramamurthy, a retired Indian Police Service (IPS) officer who served as Director General of Police for Karnataka, the university is part of the CMR Group of Institutions operating across four campuses in Bengaluru at ITPL Road, Kalyanagar, Bagalur, and Peenya.

The university offers undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral programmes through constituent schools: School of Management, School of Engineering and Technology, School of Legal Studies, School of Architecture, School of Economics and Commerce, and School of Sciences. Undergraduate options include BBA, BCom, BA, BCA, BSc, and integrated five-year dual-degree programmes. As a university, CMR designs its own syllabi and examination patterns independently of affiliating university constraints.

CMR University holds NAAC accreditation with an A grade. The ITPL Road campus, its primary location, sits in Bengaluru's eastern IT corridor near Whitefield, providing proximity to technology companies for student internships and employment. The university maintains partnerships with companies including Infosys, Wipro, TCS, and Bosch for campus recruitment and collaborative academic projects.

Admissions are conducted through the university's own entrance assessment (CMRUAT), typically held between March and June each year. Eligibility for undergraduate programmes requires a II PUC or equivalent pass with minimum percentage criteria that vary by programme. Campus facilities include hostel accommodation, transportation services, sports infrastructure including indoor and outdoor courts, and a central library with digital resource access through DELNET and INFLIBNET consortia.
