Founded by the APS Educational Trust which has a glorious history of 65 years of service in the field of education through a chain of schools, pre-university and degree colleges is managed by men of academic eminence and dedicated to welfare of society. APS today stands for quality education in Bangalore and the college is a step further in carrying it forward. Having hinged on to such reputation, its teaching faculty leaves no stone unturned for achieving excellence.
The performance of the students in the Visvesvaraya
Technological University (VTU) examinations held so far,
gives you the insight into the achievement. Apart from the
performance in the University examinations, the students
excel in various other academic activities as well.
The college has provided many a fora for the students' academic work.
The year was 1935. The Indian nation was yet to be born. Ruled by the British regime there was more deprivation than development. While many chose the path of fight to gain political independence, one man with a vision treaded a different path of securing academic independence. Sri N. Ananthachar dared to start a primary school on 15th August 1935, a date Indian destiny chose for its independence, twelve years later. An endowed teacher with a Master's Degree, the founder of APS institutions, initially chose to trade in vegetables in the Basavanagudi region of Bangalore.
This enterprising spirit soon won the appreciation of locals and even Dewan of Mysore among other literary stalwarts such as Sri Balasaraswathi, Sri R. Gopala Krishna Iyengar and others. The Director of Public Instruction gave this school its recognition in quick time, in the very next year.
Thus was born a great noble educational institution. Today it takes pride in having been the mentor to thousands of academic accomplishments through its various institutions.
With a vision to mould the raw youngsters to good
citizens and competent professionals who can take up
challenges at international level, it continues its
service with a clear mission to continuously impart
quality education with the help of dedicated faculty.
It strives to imbibe technological excellence and social
ethics in the students which the founder of the Trust stood for.
APS Forays into Technical Education
Twelve years before the Indian independence, the APS institutions were founded. Eleven years after independence, it forayed into technical education. The Acharya Patashala Polytechnic was founded in 1958 under the 2nd Five Year Plan of the Government of India and the Government of Mysore. Founded at a time when the country was experiencing acute shortage of trained technical men in the field of Engineering it started imparting education in Civil, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering.
Thus seeds of APS technical education were sown about in Somanahalli in Bangalore South Taluk with the founding of the Polytechnic on a 100 acre plot of which 90 acres were a generous grant by the Government.
A seat of excellent technical education, the campus was
painstakingly developed with the best infrastructure and
facilities such as library and sports. APS Educational
Trust's commitment to technical education is thus deep
and demonstrative. Because of this it has been successful
to draw into its fold the cream of students and facility.
I appreciate your interest in our institution and look
forward to you being part of the APS family.
