The university was recognized with the "Potential for Excellence" by the University Grants Commission. The university is the second oldest university in the state of Karnataka after the University of Mysore. The Karnatak university once used to serve most of the Karnataka region including Dharwad, Belagavi, Uttara Kannada, Bijapur, Gulbarga, Raichur, Bidar and Bellary. Up until the 1980s (with the exception of the years from 1953 to 1965) the 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.
The bifurcation of districts and establishment of new universities in this region has reduced the catchment of Karnataka university to the present day districts of Dharwad, Uttara Kannada, Haveri and Gadag.
