In 1953, Dr T M A Pai founded the Kasturba Medical College on a barren hill on the outskirts of the town of Udupi in Karnataka, India. In the subsequent years many other academic institutions followed, and this vibrant campus developed into the town of Manipal. All these institutions were brought under the umbrella of the Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE) that became deemed to be University in 1993.
Today, MAHE is synonymous with excellence in higher education. Over 30,000 students from 65+ different nations live, learn, and play in the sprawling University town nestled on a plateau.
