M S Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences (RUAS) was founded in December 2013, under the Karnataka University Act. 

The creation of RUAS brought together several well-established educational institutions of the Ramaiah Group, reorienting them to a changing present and an unpredictable future. 

Over the years, RUAS has created a name for itself as a university that is centered around academia, industry, and society; one that works tirelessly to mould the thinkers of tomorrow.

Today, RUAS is proud to offer more than 64 programs across 9 faculties. 

RUAS aspires to be the premier university of choice in Asia for student-centric professional education that lays emphasis on applied research while maintaining the highest academic and ethical standards.

Our purpose is the creation and dissemination of knowledge. We are committed to creativity, innovation, and excellence in our teaching and research. We inspire critical thinking, personal development and a passion for lifelong learning. 

We value integrity, quality, and teamwork in all our endeavours. And we serve the technical, scientific, and economic needs of our society.
