PreambleThe passion for Automobiles was overwhelming. In 1965, Late. Dr. K.C.G. Verghese took teaching assignments in Automobile Engineering subjects and was coaching students for British Automobile Examination as well. It was at this phase he knew he was all set for his own venture; and in 1966 Hindustan Engineering Training Centre (HETC) commenced operations as an institute. HETC later became Hindustan Institute of Engineering and Technology (HIET) and its reputation was high amongst foreign countries than India. Students from Sri Lanka, the African continent, the Gulf countries, Singapore and Malaysia gradually, yet steadily, opted for HIET. This irresistible quest for knowledge slowly paved way for the commencement of other Institutions under Hindustan Group of Institutions (HGI).

Sponsored by Hindustan Engg. Training Centre (Educational Society)Regd. in 1968 under Societies Act, XXI of 1860
