About Online Manipal
Shape Your Future With Our Top-Ranked Universities
Building A Legacy Of Academic Excellence
Dr. T.M.A. Pai laid the foundation of the Manipal Group in 1953 with the establishment of Kasturba Medical College in Manipal, Karnataka. This was just a stepping stone that paved the way for several other leading educational institutions that rewrote the legacy of academic excellence.
The Manipal Group has been a benchmark of excellence in higher education, shaping the academic landscape with universities like Manipal University Jaipur (MUJ) and Sikkim Manipal University (SMU). This includes top-ranked institutes such as Manipal Institute of Technology (MIT), Kasturba Medical College (KMC), and T. A. Pai Management Institute (TAPMI). These educational institutions have created and nurtured bright minds who are now driving sustainable real-world impacts across the globe.
