What Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Technological University does

Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Technological University (DBATU) is a public state technical university established in 2014 under the DBATU Act, 2014, and owned by the Government of Maharashtra. Headquartered at Lonere in Raigad district, the university operates a main campus plus four regional centres (Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Pune, Mumbai, Nagpur) and five sub-centres (Kolhapur, Solapur, Jalgaon, Nanded, Amrawati) across Maharashtra. It delivers undergraduate, postgraduate, diploma, and doctoral programs across engineering, technology, pharmacy, management, and applied sciences, with departments spanning chemical, civil, computer, electrical, electronics and telecommunications, information technology, mechanical, and petrochemical engineering.

DBATU's core product is its academic program portfolio, delivered directly at its own campus and through a network of affiliated engineering colleges that award DBATU degrees. Supporting infrastructure includes the DBATU ERP portal (dbatuerp.com) for admissions and academic management, a centralized examination section, a digital and physical university library, an AICTE IDEA LAB, a Career Development Centre for placements, and the DBATU Forum of Innovation, Incubation & Enterprise. The university holds NAAC, NBA, and NIRF recognitions and has received awards from IIT Bombay-led NMEICT initiatives and the Veterans India Pride of Nation Awards 2025. Its most recent strategic moves include MoUs with Sri Sri University and The Art of Living Trust signed in October 2025, and the recruitment of 120 regular teaching positions to scale faculty capacity.

The revenue model is a hybrid of recurring tuition fees from students enrolled across multiple programs and government grants from Maharashtra, with affiliated colleges contributing through examination and affiliation fees. Governance is statutory, with the Governor of Maharashtra serving as Chancellor and a state-appointed Vice-Chancellor (currently Prof. Rajanish K Kamat) as chief executive. Marketing and distribution rely on the official website (dbatu.ac.in), social media channels, the centralized ERP admission portal, regional press coverage, and the physical regional centre and sub-centre network.
