The greatness of any human being is judged neither by his wealth nor by his knowledge but by his simplicity. Simplicity was the hallmark of Shri. Chikka Muniyappa Reddy, the founder of the CMR Group, a man endowed with virtues, values and visionary ideals.
CMR Group has an extensive track record of 25 years in education through programmes ranging from the Montessori level / K-12 (under the CMR-NPS and Ekya Schools) to Post Graduate and Research Programmes in Architecture, Design, Engineering, Law, Management, Sciences, Education, and Humanities. The Government of Karnataka was pleased to accord University status to the CMR Group considering its highly committed & qualified faculty, internationally acclaimed infrastructure, and years of academic excellence.
CMR University aspires to differentiate itself through its vision ‘to nurture creative thinkers who will drive positive global change’ and a mission to introduce a flexible curriculum of study that encourages creativity and cross-disciplinary learning. CMR University aims to offer the best in education through academic delivery by seasoned industry professionals and experienced faculty.

CMR University, staying true to its vision “to nurture creative thinkers who will drive positive global change”, has found a way to make its academic programmes more relevant to the industry and society.
The CMR Group of Institutions was started as a tribute to the late Sri Chikka Muniyappa Reddy, a visionary educationalist and philanthropist who dreamt of bringing literacy to the masses. His vision led to the founding of the CMR JnanadharaTrust, and through it the growth of the CMR Group of Institutions. In its 25 years of existence, the CMR Jnanadhara Trust has been guided by the belief that every person can achieve his or her dreams if given a chance at a well-rounded education. CMR University, with its multiple disciplinary programmes, is strategically located in Bangalore, a major emerging destination for Higher Education.
The programmes offered at CMR University are embedded in a mature and highly sophisticated research culture, enabling students to grow in an open and free academic environment with dedicated teaching, state-of-the-art laboratories, fast information networks and well-stocked libraries.
The University’s new integrated main campus is under development, and is located close to the Bangalore International Airport. This technology-enabled campus has been designed to enable collaboration and facilitate improved interactions amongst the student and faculty community. The University houses an innovation hub and several design thinking labs where students can explore, discover and create; thus setting themselves up for success as innovative and independent thinkers, not content memorizers.

Greetings and a warm welcome to CMR University!
“असतो मा सद्गमय। तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय।”
(From untruth, lead us to truth; from darkness, lead us to light.)
This timeless Vedic hymn invokes a collective journey towards truth, knowledge, and enlightenment—an ideal that lies at the heart of our mission at CMR University.
At CMR University, our commitment extends beyond the boundaries of traditional education. We strive to build a dynamic and inclusive academic environment that empowers students to excel in an increasingly complex and technology-driven world. Our vision is rooted in offering multi, inter, and cross-disciplinary modular programmes that embrace technology-enabled teaching and learning.
We place a strong emphasis on research-led teaching within an innovative and interdisciplinary ecosystem. Our goal is to cultivate critical thinkers and lifelong learners—individuals who are curious, analytical, and capable of making meaningful contributions in their chosen fields. Through our learner-centric approach, we nurture intellectual curiosity, creativity, and the pursuit of academic and professional excellence.
Our students thrive in a campus environment equipped with state-of-the-art infrastructure, smart classrooms, modern laboratories, collaborative learning spaces, and vibrant innovation hubs. These world-class facilities are designed to support both academic excellence and personal growth.
We also take pride in our growing network of national and international collaborations—with universities, industries, and research institutions—enabling our students and faculty to engage in global knowledge exchange, cutting-edge research, and cross-cultural learning experiences. Our academic mission has a strong culture of research and innovation, where students and faculty work together to solve real-world problems, develop entrepreneurial mindsets, and create solutions that make a lasting impact on society.
In this era of rapid transformation, we at CMR University believe it is vital to shape leaders for the knowledge-based economy—graduates who possess deep domain expertise, as well as a strong sense of ethics, integrity, and social responsibility. We envision a future led by individuals who can address global challenges with wisdom, compassion, and courage.
As Vice Chancellor, I take great pride in the vibrant academic and cultural life of our university. I warmly invite you to explore the opportunities at CMR University and become a part of our shared mission—to shape the leaders, innovators, and changemakers of tomorrow.
