Mahatma Jyotiba Phule Rohilkhand University, Bareilly was earlier known as Rohilkhand University which came into existence in 1975. It was carved out of the then Agra University. There was a dire need to establish a separate university since the region has a lower literacy rate than the national average. The University imparts non-conventional, professional and technical education through its network of colleges and institutes.
