The institution traces its origins to engineering and medical colleges established at Mullana under the Maharishi Markandeshwar trust. It was subsequently conferred deemed university status by the Government of India under Section 3 of the University Grants Commission Act, 1956, allowing it to award its own degrees. The Mullana campus is located off the Ambala–Yamunanagar road, in the foothills region of north-eastern Haryana, close to the borders with Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttarakhand.
The university is organised into a number of constituent faculties and colleges. Major academic units include:
The Mullana campus is residential, with separate hostels for men and women, an attached multi-speciality teaching hospital that supports the medical, dental and nursing programmes, central library facilities, sports infrastructure, and dedicated laboratories for engineering and health science disciplines.
MMU Mullana is among the larger private deemed universities in Haryana and contributes to the higher education ecosystem of the Ambala region, particularly in professional and health sciences education. Its medical and dental colleges, with their attached hospital, also serve as a healthcare resource for surrounding rural and semi-urban populations.
