Karnataka University is a state university in the city of Dharwad in the state of Karnataka in India. It was established in October 1949 and officially inaugurated in March 1950. The campus spans 750 acres (3 km²). D. C. Pavate was the first official vice-chancellor from 1954 to 1967. The rapid development of the institution is credited to him.


The university was recognized with the "Potential for Excellence" by the University Grants Commission. It is the second oldest university in the state of Karnataka after the University of Mysore. It once used to serve most of the Karnataka region including Dharwad, Belagavi, Bijapur, Uttara Kannada, (Gulbarga, Raichur, Bidar and Bellary up to 1980s) Manipal Institute of Technology and the Kasturba Medical College of Manipal were affiliated with Karnatak University at Dharwad and all degrees were awarded by Karnatak University from 1953 to 1965.
