VGI (Vijaya Group of Institutions)

The foundation of Vijaya Education Institute Trust (VEIT) was laid in 1954 with the humble beginnings of Vijaya Kannada Shishuvihara, which started under a canopy of palm fronds. Over time, this modest school blossomed into a renowned educational institution that now encompasses several academic wings, reflecting a legacy of excellence in education spanning more than 66 years.

Humble Beginnings to a Visionary Legacy

The visionary behind this remarkable journey, Sri K.C. Chandrashekharaiah, began the mission of education with a single student in a small Tent on Sarvodaya Day, January 30, 1956. Located in Bangalore’s Jayanagar area, the initiative started as a coaching center. With limited financial means — including borrowing 12 annas just to make a name board — the institution ran classes in the front yard, thanks to the generosity of the house owner.

As student numbers grew, the center evolved into a full-fledged school, gradually introducing Kannada kindergarten, primary, and higher primary education. With basic facilities such as hut classrooms under tree canopies, the school earned the nickname “Hut School.” In 1959, the City Improvement Board Trust (CIBT) donated land to VEIT, helping establish Vijaya High School, which became known as the “Pothole School” due to its uneven grounds.

Path to Academic Excellence

Despite modest infrastructure, the school soon gained fame for its academic rigor, consistently producing top-ranked students in the SSLC exams faming it as a Rank School in Karnataka. Even after the government stopped declaring ranks post-1998, Vijaya students continued to achieve exceptional scores.

This success led to the formation of the Vijaya Composite PU College in 1998, initially offering a PCMB combination. It was inaugurated by Sri Sri Sri Vishweshateertha Sripadangalavaru of Pejawar Math. Later, in response to growing demand, combinations like Computer Science, Electronics, and various Commerce streams (CEBA, SEBA, MSBA) were added, making it one of the few pure science colleges in Bangalore at the time.

Expansion into Higher Education and English Medium

In 2011, VEIT expanded further with the establishment of VEIT Degree College, introducing a BCA program, followed by B.Com in 2018. These programs have consistently achieved excellent results, with students securing placements in reputed multinational companies through campus drives.


To meet the modern educational demands, Vijaya English Primary School was launched in 2019 and expanded into a full-fledged English Medium School (LKG to 10th) by 2021–22. Under the able leadership of President and CEO, K.C. Raghunandan, VEIT continues to adapt and grow. It Outstands now as a group of educational institutions named as ‘’Vijaya Group of Institutions’’ that amalgamates from Montessori to Graduation.
