The university takes its name from Baba Mastnath, a 18th-century saint of the Nath tradition associated with the monastic seat at Asthal Bohar near Rohtak. The Math has historically supported educational and charitable activities in the region, and the establishment of the university represents an extension of these efforts into formal higher education. The campus at Asthal Bohar lies on the outskirts of Rohtak city, a major educational hub in southern Haryana.
Baba Mastnath University is organised into faculties and constituent institutions covering several broad areas of study. Its academic offerings include:
The university's Ayurvedic college is among its older institutional components and predates the formal grant of university status, having functioned as a teaching and clinical centre attached to the Math.
The campus is situated on the Rohtak–Hisar road at Asthal Bohar, approximately on the western edge of Rohtak city. It houses academic blocks, hostels, an Ayurvedic hospital, and facilities associated with the parent religious institution.
As one of the private universities established in Haryana in the 2010s, Baba Mastnath University contributes to the expansion of higher education capacity in the state, with a particular emphasis on traditional Indian systems of medicine alongside conventional professional programmes. Its linkage to a long-standing monastic establishment makes it part of a broader pattern in India of religious institutions formalising their educational activities through chartered universities.
