In a moment that shall resonate through the annals of academic glory, the Manipal Institute of Technology, MAHE has been bestowed with the IMC Ramkrishna Bajaj National Quality Award Trophy 2024 in the Education Category — a rare and radiant honour that underscores seven decades of relentless pursuit of knowledge, innovation, and holistic development.

At the venerable Walchand Hirachand Hall, Mumbai, on the eve of April 23, 2025, amidst stalwarts and visionaries, MIT-Manipal stood tall — its name echoing as a beacon of quality and transformative education. Receiving the award on behalf of the institution, Director MIT Cdr. (Dr.) Anil Rana with Dr. Dasharathraj K Shetty, carried forth the spirit of generations who dared to dream, to build, and to better.

As MAHE celebrates 2024 as the Year of Industry-Academia Collaboration, this laurel — judged through the globally revered Malcolm Baldrige Framework — becomes a shining testament to the harmony of scholarship and societal contribution.
