Students looking for careers in artificial intelligence, aerospace engineering and technology-driven business sectors will soon have a new higher education option with the launch of Ramaiah Institute of Science and Management (RISM) in Bengaluru.
Launched by the Gokula Education Foundation (Medical) in partnership with the University at Albany, the deemed-to-be university will start its first academic session in August 2026 with a focus on globally aligned and industry-oriented education.
The university will offer undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral programmes, including B.Tech courses in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence, Aerospace Engineering and Electrical Sciences, alongside BBA and MBA programmes. According to the institution, the curriculum has been designed with industry and academic partners to provide students with practical exposure through internships, live projects and industry-sponsored Centres of Excellence.
RISM said students will also learn under “Professors of Practice,” where senior industry professionals will take up formal teaching and mentoring roles to provide real-world business and technology insights.
The university’s residential campus is being developed near Devanahalli in Bengaluru’s Information Technology Investment Region, close to aerospace and industrial hubs. Until the main campus becomes operational in 2027, academic activities will begin from a transit campus in Yelahanka.
