Established in the year 2004, under the leadership of the philanthropic, technocrat Late I M Jayaram Shetty and the iconic MNBS Trust, MITK has reached out to the rural communities as a symbol of hope for availing technical education. It became a beacon of light for those young minds who were economically less advantaged, but were still nursing big dreams of pursuing professional engineering degrees and becoming competent entrepreneur, technocrats or employees.
MITK also offers Post Graduate Management courses for technical as well as humanities graduates. Established in 2008, MITK offers regular two years Post Graduate Degree in Management Studies (MBA – Master of Business Administration). This department comes under the administrative jurisdiction of Moodlakatte Institute of Technology.

With the advent of professional courses in Engineering gaining momentum across the nation, a quiet revolution was taking place in the coastal district of Udupi, a well-known name in the realm of higher education. This transformation beckoned the zealous entrepreneurs of Kundapur region to build strong foothold in the yet to be developed region, through establishment of Industries, hotels and educational Institutes
Realizing the huge potential of educational avenues available and identifying the need and willingness to make an effort to cater to it, a philanthropic, charitable Trust was established by the family of Late I M Jayaram Shetty by the name MNBS Trust – (Moodlakatte Nagarathna Bhujanga Shetty Trust ®), Moodlakatte in the year 1995. The key purpose of forming the trust was to promote education, social and cultural activities in rural areas of our country. The trust has contributed tremendously in the area of education since its inception, developing a unique identity. The hall mark of this identity is to provide a launch pad for the rural students for pursuing their dreams of higher education.
It also stimulates equal educational opportunities for all the students helping them inculcate critical analysis skills and logical thinking. The technical and enterprising spirit of MITK inspires the students to respond to unmet needs of the society. The characteristic that sets MITK apart is the quest to be the best with a mission to relentlessly strive for excellence. MITK offers a wide range of engineering programmes at undergraduate level and management program at post graduate level.
To be a hub of higher education in Technology and Management by imparting quality education with a focus on creativity, innovation and social values to inspire, motivate and empower the young minds.
These two statements from Taitireeya Upanishad summarize the entire teachings of all the scriptures in all religions. These are the parting advice given during the Vedic times by the enlightened masters in their Gurukulas to their beloved disciples.
True education inspires us to lead a virtuous life, to serve, to love and to sacrifice. With such education the individual is transformed, the family is strengthened, and the nation is resurrected. This alone can lead to peace and harmony in the world.
Hence educational institutions have a major role to play in molding the character of the individual and thus creating a better world.
MITK aims at upgrading and monitoring quality management to rectify preliminary corrective measures due to any non-conformity. The quality policy is communicated to all the stakeholders of the Institute and is reviewed at regular intervals for continuing sustainability.
