In just three decades, the Sri Ramachandra Institute of Higher Education & Research has established itself as a premier institution. Rewards and awards have kept pace.

The Sri Ramachandra Institute of Higher Education and Research (formerly Sri Ramachandra University) was established by the Sri Ramachandra Educational and Health Trust with a vision to facilitate the development of professionals who excel in their fields. In a short period of time, it has become one of the most comprehensive health sciences universities in India. Starting in 1985 as the Sri Ramachandra Medical College and Research Institute, with a medical college and a few paramedical courses, it was declared a deemed university by the government of India in 1994.

Located in a lush 150-acre campus (it was ranked No. 5 in the HRD ministry’s ‘Swachh Campus’ Ranking 2018), the deemed university now has in its fold 12 constituent colleges offering around 130 undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in medicine, dentistry, nursing, physiotherapy, pharmacy, biomedical sciences, allied health sciences, sports and exercise sciences, public health and clinical research. Over 6,500 students receive teaching and training under 900-plus faculty members.

The quest for excellence in medical education, healthcare and research has earned the university many notable awards. Consistent ‘A’ grade awards in NAAC accreditations, together with academic excellence achieved over the years, has led the University Grants Commission (UGC) to declare it a Grade-I university. Very few universities in India have been conferred this distinction.
