The institution strives to fulfill its mission to provide educational opportunities to all aspiring youth to excel in life by developing academic excellence, fostering values, creating civic responsibility and building global competencies in a dynamic environment.

In late 1990’s majority of higher educational institutions were found in the southern and eastern parts of Bangalore. The northern part of Bangalore District was semi-urban and rural that lacked educational and industrial development. In order to build vibrant academic environment and to bring positive socio-economic changes in this geographical area, the college was started at K. Narayanapura, Kothanur region in 1999.

The college had a humble beginning with 1 course, 9 students and 3 faculty members has exponentially grown with 10000+ students and offers 33 UG programmes, 17 PG programmes and 3 PG Diplomas. The college has four recognized research centres in the field of Bio-Technology, Commerce, Psychology and Management.
