About APS College of Engineering

A.P.S. Engineering College is a privately funded engineering college. The evolution of the institute was brought about by Sri N. Ananthachar. An enterprising teacher with a Master's Degree, he started a primary school on 15th August 1935. Because of the quality of education, the Director of Public Instruction gave this school its recognition in quick time, in the very next year. Twelve years before the Indian independence, the APS institution was thus 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.

The location of the College is on the lush and green outskirts of Bangalore city, enabling the students to study in cosy and calm atmosphere, away from the noise and pollution of the urban influence. 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. APSE Trust has always been keen and eager to offer any assistance for the students to prosecute their studies.
