Akash Group of Institutions

What Akash Group of Institutions does

Akash Group of Institutions is a multi-disciplinary educational group established in 2010 in Bengaluru, India, operated under the Akash Educational and Development Trust. The group operates across two campuses in Bengaluru and Devanahalli and runs at least eight constituent institutions spanning medicine (Akash Institute of Medical Sciences and Research Center, with 250 MBBS seats and MD/MS programs recognized by the National Medical Commission and affiliated to RGUHS), nursing (Akash Institute of Nursing, established 2019), physiotherapy (Akash Institute of Physiotherapy, established 2010), engineering (Akash Institute of Engineering and Technology under Visvesvaraya Technological University), management and commerce (Akash Global College of Management and Science under Bangalore City University and AICTE), pharmacy, allied health sciences, and paramedical diplomas. On-campus multi-specialty Akash Hospital functions as both a clinical training asset for students and an ancillary service line.

The group's technology stack is administrative rather than product-led: it operates an internal ERP portal (erp.akashinstitutions.com) for student and staff access, supports online admissions and fee payments via a payment gateway, and uses a content-marketing website plus social channels (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube) for student recruitment. Curriculum is built around university-mandated syllabi with industry-aligned specializations such as AI & ML, Cybersecurity, Aviation Management, and ACCA-certified commerce. Recruiter relationships span Bosch, TCS, HCLTech, Tata Motors, Tech Mahindra, Lam Research, Reliance Industries, Schneider Electric, Manipal Hospitals, Apollo Hospitals, Fortis Healthcare, Novartis, Pfizer, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Roche, GSK and Merck.

Revenue is generated primarily through tuition and academic fees across the program portfolio, with billing on an annual cadence. Admissions flow through Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) counselling for MBBS, MD and MS seats (including NRI and management quota) and direct institutional admission on a first-come-first-served basis for other programs. The institution offers a claimed 100% placement assistance through a dedicated placement cell and partners with organizations such as WHO, IBM, CDC, Metropolis Healthcare, Narayana Nethralaya, Medini, ILET Solutions, Magic Bus Foundation and FlySky Aviation for curriculum support and student outcomes. Customer fees are not publicly disclosed.
