It is one of the 16 new Central Universities established by the Government of India during the UGC XI Plan Period to address to the concerns of ‘equity and access’ and to increase the access to quality higher education by people in less educationally developed districts which have a Graduate Enrolment Ratio of less than the national average of 11%. The CUK, with its territorial jurisdiction all over Karnataka has been initiated its activities from the academic year beginning August 2009 in keeping with the philosophy of achieving and maintaining the highest levels of academic excellence, sensitivity to equity and access in enrolment and recruitment and emerging as a premier national educational and research institution in the country.

Research
The Central University of Karnataka established the Research and Development Cell to strengthen the Research Ecosystem, enhance Research Quality, and foster Research Activities. The recent circular by the UGC also emphasized the significance of the R & D Cell in Universities and Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). The R&D Cell in HEIs will pave the way for innovations and intellectual property gains to be expanded over time. It can contribute meaningfully towards the goal of Atma Nirbhar Bharat (Self-reliant India), which is aligned with the provisions of National Education Policy – 2020 (NEP-2020). This will also play a crucial role in catalyzing the research culture in HEIs as envisaged under NEP-2020 for reliable, impactful, and sustainable research output.
