The Gokula Education Foundation (Medical) has partnered with the University at Albany, State University of New York, to launch the Ramaiah Institute of Science and Management (RISM), a deemed-to-be university focused on STEM and management education.
The Bengaluru-based institution will begin its first academic session in August 2026, offering undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral programmes across engineering, business, and science. Initial courses include BTech in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence, Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Sciences, along with BBA and MBA programmes.
The university aims to deliver industry-aligned education through a co-created curriculum with academic and industry partners, integrating internships, live projects, and Centres of Excellence.
Speaking on the launch, Mr. Gurucharan Gollerkeri, Executive Director and Chief Strategy Officer, Gokula Education Foundation (Medical) said, “We are operating in a fast-changing, deeply interconnected global environment where the boundaries between disciplines, industries, and geographies are rapidly dissolving. Traditional education models are no longer sufficient to prepare students for this new reality. With RISM, we are addressing this shift by building an ecosystem that integrates technology, business, and applied learning in a way that mirrors how the real-world functions and is evolving. While job market relevance is critical, our larger focus is on strengthening core knowledge, critical thinking, and learning agility, thereby equipping students not just for the jobs of today, but for an unpredictable future where the ability to continuously learn and adapt will define success.”
The main campus is being developed near Devanahalli, with operations initially starting from a transit campus in Yelahanka.
