Rajiv Gandhi Proudyogiki Vishwavidyalaya (RGPV) is Madhya Pradesh's state technological university, established in 1998 and headquartered on a roughly 247-acre campus in Bhopal. It functions primarily as an affiliating university, overseeing roughly 390 affiliated institutions across the state, spanning about 200 engineering colleges, 98 pharmacy colleges, 95 MCA institutions, 4 architecture colleges, and 85 diploma institutions. RGPV also directly runs its own teaching arm on the Bhopal campus, University Institute of Technology (UIT-RGPV), which traces to a Government Engineering College founded in 1986.
RGPV and its affiliated network offer undergraduate programmes including B.E./B.Tech and B.Arch; postgraduate programmes including M.Tech, M.Pharm, MBA, M.Sc, M.Des, M.Arch, and MCA; and doctoral programmes across roughly 20 disciplines. Dual-degree options combining B.E. with MBA or M.Tech are also available at select institutes.
Admission to most affiliated engineering and pharmacy seats runs through Madhya Pradesh's Department of Technical Education (DTE) centralised counselling, based on JEE Main scores for undergraduate seats and GATE, GPAT, CAT, or the state MBA entrance test for postgraduate seats. Because RGPV is an affiliating university, prospective students should confirm the specific admission process and fee structure with their chosen affiliated college, since these vary across the network rather than being set uniformly by RGPV itself.
RGPV does not currently appear in NIRF's published State Public University rankings, and its own teaching arm's engineering programmes were also not found in NIRF's published Engineering top-300 band. It does not currently hold a valid NAAC grade: a Cycle-1 grade from around 2016-17 has lapsed, and a Cycle-2 self-study report referenced on RGPV's own site has not yet produced a published outcome.
Rajiv Gandhi Proudyogiki Vishwavidyalaya has earned NAAC grade A with a CGPA of 3.05, placing it among accredited institutions recognised for teaching quality, research output, and campus infrastructure.
Programs at Rajiv Gandhi Proudyogiki Vishwavidyalaya are approved by AICTE, UGC, NBA — so your degree is recognised by employers, PSUs, and higher-education institutions across India and abroad.
