Ramaiah Institute of Technology (RIT), formerly known as MSRIT, was founded in 1962 by Late Dr. M. S. Ramaiah under the Gokula Education Foundation (GEF) with the objective of producing high-quality professionals to meet the demands of technical education. Over the decades, RIT has emerged as a premier educational institution with national recognition for its academic quality, research culture, and industry engagement.

RIT offers 18 undergraduate (UG) programs and 13 postgraduate (PG) programs, all approved by AICTE and accredited by the National Board of Accreditation (NBA). The institute has approximately 380 faculty members, of whom about 60% are doctorates, reflecting a strong emphasis on academic and research excellence. The campus is supported by state-of-the-art laboratories, active sponsored research projects across departments, and a research ecosystem with more than 300 Ph.D. scholars pursuing doctoral work.

To promote advanced research, the institute has established several specialized centres, including the Centre of Excellence for Imaging Technologies, Centre for Advanced Materials Technology, Centre for Antennas and Radio Frequency Systems, Centre for Cyber Physical Systems, and the Schneider Centre of Excellence. The Digital Library of RIT provides access to major scholarly resources such as Elsevier ScienceDirect, IEEE, Taylor & Francis, and SpringerLink. The institute is also a member of DELNET, CMTI, and the VTU E-Library Consortium. Entrepreneurship is supported through the Entrepreneurship Development Cell (EDC) and the Section 8 company Ramaiah Evolute, which incubates start-ups on campus.

RIT received NAAC ‘A+’ accreditation in March 2021 for a period of five years. The institute has enjoyed autonomous status for both UG and PG programs under the University Grants Commission (UGC) and Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU) since 2007. In the NIRF 2025 rankings, RIT secured the 75th position among 1,584 engineering institutions in India.

The Basic Sciences Departments of M. S. Ramaiah Institute of Technology (MSRIT), comprising the Departments of Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Humanities, have been integral to the institute’s academic excellence since its inception in 1962 (with the Department of Humanities established in 2008 following the institute’s autonomous status). These departments provide a strong foundation in scientific knowledge, analytical thinking, communication, and interdisciplinary learning for engineering and architecture students while fostering a vibrant culture of research and innovation. The Departments of Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry are recognized as VTU Research Centres, supported by highly qualified faculty, with Ph.D. degrees, and collectively guide a large number of doctoral scholars across diverse research domains. The Departments have received funding from, DST, DAE-BRNS, ISRO, VGST, Boeing R&D (India), VTU etc to execute research projects and setup research labs. Together, the Basic Science Departments have published more than 500 research papers during the last five years, reflecting their sustained commitment to academic excellence, impactful research, innovation, and the holistic development of future engineers, researchers, and professionals.
