Why study in Bengaluru (Bangalore)?

Bengaluru is the third largest city in India and seamlessly blends ancient history with modern amenities. Enjoy one of India’s most modern cities complete with malls, bargain shopping centers, espresso shops, nightclubs, and multi-cuisine restaurants, or step back in time at the temples, mosques, fort ruins, and Bengaluru Palace. Enjoy both vibes at the KR Market, a bustling market located inside a historical wooden palace! Bengaluru has a pleasant sub-tropical climate (55°-80°F), with March-May being the warmest season and June-September being the rainy season, which leaves the air clean and fresh.
