KLE KF Patil Institute of Business Administration

KLE Society's KF Patil Institute of Business Administration brings AICTE-approved management education to Ranebennur — a town in Haveri district better known for its textile and agricultural trade than its academic institutions. The institute was established in 2009 and is affiliated to Karnatak University, Dharwad.

BBA and MBA form the programme portfolio. The BBA track feeds into entry-level management and banking roles, while the MBA programme — with specialisations in Marketing, Finance and HR — targets mid-career professionals and fresh graduates alike. Industry visits, summer internships and guest lectures from practising managers supplement classroom instruction.

As part of the KLE Society network — which runs over 270 institutions across Karnataka — the institute benefits from shared academic governance, placement drives and inter-institutional faculty exchanges. Students come primarily from Haveri, Dharwad, Gadag and Davangere districts.
