About Manipal University Bangalore
MAHE Bengaluru is the Bengaluru campus of Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE), a deemed-to-be university founded in 1953 at Manipal, Karnataka. MAHE was granted Institution of Eminence status by the Government of India in 2020. The Bengaluru campus is at Govindapura, Yelahanka, Bengaluru 560063; its campus page reports more than 12,000 students on roll and more than 500 faculty members.
Accreditation and rankings (university-wide)
- NAAC: MAHE describes itself as NAAC A++ accredited. The grade belongs to MAHE as a whole, not to this campus, and the pages read give no CGPA or validity date.
- NIRF 2025: MAHE ranks 3rd in the University category, 14th Overall and 19th in Research. NIRF ranks MAHE as one institution, so these ranks are not specific to the Bengaluru campus.
Institutions and programmes at the Bengaluru campus
MAHE's programme listing for the Bengaluru campus covers Manipal Institute of Technology (MIT) Bengaluru, with B.Tech in computer science, computer science and financial technology, electronics and communication, electronics engineering, mathematics and computing, and robotics and artificial intelligence, and four M.Tech. programmes; Manipal Law School (BA LLB, BBA LLB, LLB and LL.M.); Srishti Manipal Institute of Art, Design and Technology (B.Des., BFA, M.Des. and M.A.); T A Pai Management Institute (TAPMI) Bengaluru (BBA Honors and the MBA in Technology Management); B.Com. (Hons.) in four areas; B.A. (Hons.), M.A. and M.Sc. programmes in the humanities and social sciences; the Manipal Institute of Regenerative Medicine (M.Sc.); and health professions programmes (M.Sc. and M.PT).
Fees and placements
MAHE's programme pages state a total programme fee for the general category, for example INR 24,42,000 for four years of B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering, with no year-wise split, so this page loads no fee rows for those programmes. Srishti Manipal publishes year-wise fees: tuition of Rs 4,32,000 a year for B.Des. and BFA in 2026-27. MAHE reports placements for the university and not for this campus, so no placement figures are shown.
