What Sant Gadge Baba Amravati University does

Sant Gadge Baba Amravati University (SGBAU) is a public state university established on 1st May 1983 under the Maharashtra Public Universities Act 2016, headquartered on a 470.63-acre campus in Amravati, Maharashtra. The university operates 28 teaching departments across four faculties (Arts, Science, Commerce, and Engineering/Technology) and holds jurisdictional authority over five districts of Western Vidarbha: Amravati, Akola, Yavatmal, Buldana, and Washim. It delivers undergraduate, postgraduate, doctoral, and professional programs including B.Tech, MBA, MCA, M.Sc Computer Science, M.E. (CSIT), B.Voc, and various PG Diplomas, supplemented by specialized infrastructure such as a Computer Center with 1 GBPS leased line internet, a Knowledge Resource Centre (library) with online journal access, a Central Instrumentation Cell, a Fabrication Laboratory (FAB LAB), and an Incubation Center for startups.

The university's revenue model is primarily tuition-based, with fees managed centrally through the Central Administrative Services Unit (CASU) and published annually, supplemented by government grants from UGC, DST, DBT, AICTE, DRDO, DAE, and RGSTC. Distribution occurs through direct on-campus teaching departments (28 departments for PG and research) and a wide network of affiliated colleges across five districts serving the bulk of the ~4 lakh student population. The go-to-market approach is centralized admissions through government portals (samarth.edu.in for CAP), supported by the university's website, social media presence, and an IGNOU Study Centre partnership for distance education. SGBAU holds NAAC B++ accreditation (CGPA 2.96, valid 2022-2027), downgraded from A grade in the prior cycle, and maintains statutory recognitions from UGC, AICTE, NCTE, and DBT. The institution is governed by the Government of Maharashtra with the Governor serving as Chancellor, and is currently led by Vice-Chancellor Dr. Milind A. Barhate.
