This will facilitate under graduate and post-graduation degree courses for the students in various courses available with engineering and technological institutes across the state. While the divisional centres of the new university will be opened in Mumbai, Pune, Nagpur and Aurangabad, the sub-divisional centres would be based in Kolhapur, Solapur, Amravati, Nanded and Jalgaon.

The decision was taken at the cabinet meeting. The main centre of the university will be located at Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Technological Education University premises in Lonere in Mangaon taluka of Raigad district. For this the State Universities Act will be amended.
