It’s heartening that “East Point Group of Institutions” has come of age and I am immensely happy to share that our East Point College of Engineering and Technology (EPCET) will be celebrating its “Silver Jubilee” during the year 2024. Our medical college has admitted its 5th batch of students and it is all set for launching PG courses in medicine. We started our “M G Charitable Trust” in the year 1997, with the motive of establishing educational institutions to serve the public by providing education. We established “East Point School” in the year 1997 and our EPCET in the year 1999. Since 1999, we have established 13 institutions including a medical college and a 1000 bedded East Point Hospital. Barring 3 institutions, all other institutions are located on a sprawling “Jnanaprabha Campus” at Bidarahalli, off Old Madras Road and today there are around 10000 students on roll in these institutions.
My beloved husband, late “Dr. S M Venkatpathi” tirelessly worked to realize the vision we had, i.e., “East Point Group of Institutions aim at building a Better World and a Better Mankind by imparting quality education through the learned academic fraternity who have dedicated themselves to the motto of Education + Humanity”.
We are striving to impart holistic quality education in line with NEP-2020 to prepare the students to face 21st-century challenges and contribute to the scientific, technological, healthcare, economic and social sectors of our communities.
There is an explosion in knowledge in every sector and creating new opportunities for the present generation of students and this calls for new education programs, and it is essential that the educational institutions need to respond quickly to meet the educational requirements of students. The present trend is to establish multi-disciplinary universities which can provide quality education and respond to the requirements of students almost instantaneously. The trust is working towards establishing a Private University soon.
It’s our earnest belief, that through this University, we will continue to meet the rising higher education aspirations of our students and parents.
I thank all our faculty members and administrators for their hard work and dedication to the development and growth of “East Point Group of Institutions”. I am sure that the institutions will turn out to be second to none in excellence in all disciplines in days to come.
