But a few decades before, Manipal was a barren wasteland, a bare hilltop covered with scrub and bush. Then, a great visionary saw serenity in silence, potential in barrenness, and challenge in adversity. That visionary was Dr T.M.A. Pai, a country doctor who by his vision changed the face of the hilltop. He built a bustling township, which is today an International University town, and a renowned Center of Learning. The late Dr T.M.A. Pai established, in Manipal, a whole host of educational, medical, banking and industrial enterprises of national importance and repute, and as of today, more than twenty thousand students have graduated from these colleges.

The professional colleges were granted Deemed University status on June 1, 1993, and thus was born the Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE), the first institution in the private sector to be recognized as a Deemed University by the Government of India.

Among the foremost colleges and institutions of India, the MAHE colleges are highly regarded in their sphere of expertise, be it MIT (Manipal Institute of Technology) for engineering or KMC (Kasturba Medical College) for medicine. MAHE today ranks as one of India's premier multi-dimensional educational institutions and the awarding of a Deemed University status is testimonial to this fact.

MAHE is also affiliated to various reputed institutes and universities abroad, for the exchange of knowledge as well as, students and faculty. For example, KMC has formal affiliations with the Loma Linda and Louisiana State Universities in USA, the University of Adelaide, Australia, the Kuopio University, Finland and the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, UK. These academic linkages provide base for exchange of faculty and student, collaborative research and development of special projects. In fact, the Manipal Group of Institutions were the first in the country to establish a collaboration with foreign universities at the degree level in Medicine, Management and Engineering. The collaborative programme is called a 'Twinning Programme' in which the students pursue the first two years study of a degree programme at Manipal, India and the last two years in the USA or Australia. The degree is awarded by the foreign university.

The International Center for Applied Sciences (ICAS) has entered into agreements with the Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE), Andrews University, Illinois Institute of Technology, Ohio University, University of Missouri and Deakin University for transfer of full credits after the completion of the two year course at International Center for Applied Sciences (ICAS). Some of our students have also been admitted to other reputed universities who have accepted ICAS credits.
