HARIDWAR UNIVERSITY Summary
Haridwar University is a state private university on the Roorkee-Haridwar corridor in Uttarakhand. The campus traces its academic roots to Roorkee College of Engineering, established in 2010 under Satyam Education Society. The university itself was created later through the Haridwar University Act, 2022, enacted as Uttarakhand Act No. 16 of 2023, so the earlier college history and the statutory university date are distinct parts of the institution's development. The university offers a broad professional and multidisciplinary portfolio covering engineering and technology, pharmacy, management and commerce, computer applications, hotel and tourism management, legal studies, basic sciences, humanities, life sciences, media and related fields. This range reflects the expansion of the original engineering-focused campus into a wider higher-education environment. Diploma, undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral study are supported within the university structure. Located near Roorkee, the campus benefits from a region with a long engineering and industrial tradition. Haridwar University's academic model emphasizes industry-aligned curricula, laboratories, projects, internships, professional communication and research. Its facilities include laboratories, library resources, residential accommodation, sports and other student-support infrastructure developed across the earlier college and newer university phases. The transition to university status gave the institution independent academic governance and scope to organize multiple faculties under one framework. It also formalized a broader research and interdisciplinary mandate while retaining the applied orientation of the original engineering campus. The institution's history is therefore best understood as a 2010 campus foundation followed by statutory conversion into Haridwar University in 2023. Its current development combines technical education, professional disciplines and wider multidisciplinary study within the same Roorkee-area campus. The campus was established in 2010 as Roorkee College of Engineering. The Haridwar University Act, 2022 was enacted as Uttarakhand Act No. 16 of 2023. Academic faculties span engineering, pharmacy, management, law, sciences, humanities and other fields.
