About Indian Academy Group of Institutions
Indian Academy Group of Institutions is a VTU-affiliated engineering college at Hennur Cross, North-East Bangalore — established in 1995 and accredited at NAAC B+. The Hennur Cross location sits near the Hebbal-Manyata Tech Park belt, giving students reasonable access to North Bangalore's IT employment corridor without the commute that colleges further north on the Airport Road require.

Placements
IT service companies — TCS, Infosys, Wipro — recruit from campus. The Hennur Cross location gives access to Manyata Tech Park (approximately 5–7 km) and the broader Hebbal IT corridor for off-campus drives. CSE and ISE see the strongest placement activity.
Who Should Apply
Indian Academy suits students in the 20,000 – 40,000 GM range who want a North-East Bangalore VTU college. The Hennur Cross location is practical for students from that part of the city. At government quota fees, it's a reasonable late-round option for a Bangalore engineering seat.
Who Should Look Elsewhere
NAAC B+ limits Indian Academy compared to peers with A or A+ grades. HKBK (autonomous, NAAC B++, Manyata-adjacent) and CMR University (Kalyan Nagar, similar belt) offer stronger academic or location credentials at comparable KCET ranges in North-East Bangalore. If your rank reaches either of those, compare before settling here.
