About Ramaiah Institute of Technology (MSRIT)
Sixty Years of Engineering Distinction in the Heart of India’s Silicon Valley
Founded in 1962 by the iconic visionary and philanthropist Dr. M.S. Ramaiah, the Ramaiah Institute of Technology (formerly M.S. Ramaiah Institute of Technology) was established under the aegis of the Gokula Education Foundation (GEF). Over six decades, MSRIT has matured into one of Karnataka’s elite autonomous engineering powerhouses, recognized globally for nurturing world-class engineers, corporate leaders, and tech researchers.
Affiliated with Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU), Belagavi, MSRIT gained full academic autonomy in 2007. This autonomous status empowers the institution to continuously revise its syllabi in real-time alignment with industry demands, introducing cutting-edge specializations in Generative AI, Cloud Systems, VLSI Design, and Clean Mobility.
