Karnatak University (KUD) is a public state university in Dharwad, Karnataka, India. KUD was officially established in 1950 through the Karnatak University Act, 1949, passed by the legislature of the Bombay Province.[2][3]

The university is the second-oldest in the state of Karnataka, after the University of Mysore.[4] Karnatak University once served most parts of Karnataka, including the districts of Dharwad, Belagavi, Uttara Kannada, Bijapur, Gulbarga, Raichur, Bidar and Ballari until the 1980s. Additionally, from 1953 to 1965, the Manipal Institute of Technology and Kasturba Medical College in Manipal were affiliated with Karnatak University.[5] The bifurcation of districts and the establishment of new universities in the region have reduced Karnatak University's jurisdiction to the present-day districts of Dharwad, Uttara Kannada, Haveri, and Gadag.[2]

The university is recognized under "University with Potential for Excellence" scheme by the University Grants Commission.[6] In 2022, the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) accredited KUD with an 'A' grade and a CGPA of 3.13.[7]
