The college is run by the STJ Education Society, an affiliate of the Sri Taralabalu Jagadguru Brihanmath at Sirigere in Chitradurga district. The Brihanmath is a 12th-century religious seat founded by saint Marulasiddha and presently headed by Dr. Shivamurthy Shivacharya Mahaswamiji, who succeeded to the seat in 1979. The Brihanmath is well known for its yeoman service in rural education across Karnataka and operates more than 172 institutions from nursery to engineering college.
Where is STJIT Ranebennur located and how large is the campus?
STJIT is located at NH-4 / P.B. Road, Ranebennur 581115, in Haveri district of north Karnataka, on the Poona-Bangalore National Highway corridor. The campus spans approximately 52 acres on the outskirts of Ranebennur town, deliberately sited away from the urban core to provide a focused, residential engineering-college environment. Ranebennur is well connected by rail and road and sits between Davangere, Hubli and Haveri, giving students easy access to the wider north-Karnataka industrial and educational belt and onward travel to Bengaluru via NH-4/NH-48.
