Abhaya Group of Institutions Bengaluru Urban

Abhaya Group of Institutions is a private educational group offering nursing and allied health science programs in Bengaluru, Karnataka. It operates as part of the Jayalakshmi Muniswamaiah Trust, a trust run by medical professionals that also runs the Abhaya Multi Speciality Hospital and the Abhaya Addiction Recovery Centre. The group’s flagship nursing college was established in 2008, and its programs are affiliated with the Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences (RGUHS), Bengaluru.

The institution offers a range of Diploma, Undergraduate (B.Sc.), and Postgraduate (M.Sc.) programs across nursing, optometry, medical imaging technology, medical laboratory technology, operation theatre and anesthesia technology, and renal dialysis technology. The campus is located off Kanakapura Road at Thathaguni, in the southern outskirts of Bengaluru, and gives students on-site clinical exposure through the group’s own parent hospital.

Courses & Fees

Abhaya Group of Institutions structures its academic offerings into Diploma, undergraduate B.Sc., and postgraduate M.Sc. streams in nursing and allied health sciences. The B.Sc. Nursing program is a four-year degree affiliated to RGUHS and approved by the Indian Nursing Council. Eligibility for UG and Diploma programs generally requires passing 10+2 (Physics, Chemistry, Biology, English) with a minimum of 45% aggregate marks (40% for SC/ST/OBC candidates); M.Sc. Nursing requires a relevant bachelor’s degree. Admission is merit-based rather than tied to a centralized engineering entrance exam, so KCET/COMEDK-style rank cutoffs do not apply to this institution.

The official website does not publish a fee schedule for any program. Third-party education portals cite approximate, unverified figures — commonly around ₹5-6.15 lakhs total for four-year B.Sc. programs and lower figures for Diploma courses — but these numbers come from aggregator sites, not the institution itself, and should be confirmed directly with the admissions office before relying on them.

Eligibility & Admission Process

Applicants apply via an online or offline application form, submit required documents (SSLC certificate, PU/12th marks card, category certificates where applicable), and are shortlisted on a merit basis rather than through a state entrance exam.

Placement Trends & Career Outcomes

As per the StepVista Transparency Standards, there are no official or audited placement records available for this institution. The college’s placement cell states that it provides placement guidance and that graduates are employed in hospitals and healthcare organizations across India and abroad, but no verified placement rate, average package, or highest package figures have been published by the institution itself.

Campus Life & Facilities

The campus is situated off Kanakapura Road in Thathaguni, in a relatively quiet, green part of southern Bengaluru. Students have access to six specialized laboratories — including a simulated hospital set-up for fundamentals-of-nursing practice, a community health lab, a nutrition lab, an anatomy and physiology lab, and a computer lab. The group’s own hospital, Abhaya Multi Speciality Hospital, functions as the primary clinical training site for students. Separate hostel accommodation is available for male and female students, along with an audio-visual seminar hall, a learning center, a college library, and transportation facilities.

Observations & FAQ

A few items in this profile could not be independently verified and are worth flagging before publishing:

• Establishment year discrepancy: Some third-party sources (and this profile, following the original stub) list 2008 as the founding year of the nursing college specifically, while the institution’s own “About Us” page and several aggregator listings state the broader Trust/hospital group was established in 2000. Both figures appear in circulation; the exact founding year of the college itself is unconfirmed.
• Group/parent body correction: The original stub listed “Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences, Bangalore” as the parent group. RGUHS is actually the affiliating university for the nursing and allied health programs, not the owning group — the actual parent body is the Jayalakshmi Muniswamaiah Trust. This has been corrected in this profile.
• No NAAC/UGC/AICTE disclosures apply: Unlike engineering or general universities, this institution is regulated through the Indian Nursing Council, Karnataka Nursing Council, and RGUHS affiliation rather than UGC/AICTE/NAAC, so those accreditation markers are not applicable here.
• No KCET/COMEDK cutoffs: Admission is merit-based on qualifying exam marks, not through the KCET/COMEDK engineering entrance systems, so no cutoff table has been included.
