Opening the CSV file and using this as an array to generate templates is easy in Python, it does not need a special bot. Getting consensus to add templates to everything and ensuring that the matching articles or images are the right ones to change is the hard part.

On en.wp in particular, mass changing articles by bot to add information templates could be a long discussion.

Hi!

Is there a bot that can help me to import CSV file and turn it into
templated pages?

For example: I have csv with Universities:

University Name,Alias,Number of students
massachusetts institute of technology,MIT,2100430
oxford university,oxford,492304
...

I want to create pages for each of the university with the text:

{{University
|alias=oxford
|number of students=492304934
}}
