The history of BMS Institutions dates back to the pre- Independence period. Late Sri B. M. Sreenivasaiah, a philanthropist and visionary, realised the importance of technical education in the country. He started BMS College of Engineering in the year 1946, which has the distinction of being the first private engineering college in the country. Sri B. M. Sreenivasaiah was conferred the title ‘DharmaPrakasha Raja KaryaPrasaktha’ by the Maharaja of Mysore for his yeoman service in the education sector. The inheritors of his legacy continue to cherish and uphold his vision and ideals.
After the demise of Sri B. M. Sreenivasaiah, his illustrious son Sri B. S. Narayan, a dynamic and enterprising personality, developed the BMS College of Engineering into one of the finest engineering colleges.
