RIMT University is a private university at Mandi Gobindgarh in Fatehgarh Sahib district, Punjab. Its institutional roots lie in the Shri Om Parkash Bansal Educational and Social Welfare Trust, which began the RIMT education journey in 1998. Over the following years the group expanded professional education through new institutions, creating the academic and infrastructure base that eventually developed into a university. Punjab Act No. 31 of 2015 established RIMT University and placed it within the University Grants Commission framework under Section 2(f). The university now supports programs across engineering and technology, management, commerce, computing, sciences, agriculture, law, pharmacy, design, humanities and other professional fields. Its official history emphasizes innovation, entrepreneurship and the idea of 'education for life' as guiding themes. The university's location on the Delhi–Jalandhar corridor connects it with industrial and commercial activity in Punjab. Since receiving university status, RIMT has expanded research, international academic relationships and industry engagement while continuing the group's earlier professional-education focus. The institution's chronology is therefore clearly divided between the trust-led college phase beginning in 1998 and the statutory university phase that started in 2015. This long precursor period gives RIMT University a deeper institutional history than its university-establishment date alone would suggest. The RIMT education journey began in 1998.
