Admin capital of the southern state of Karnataka, Bengaluru (formerly Karnataka) draws people from far and wide with its moderate and pleasant climate, rich heritage and cosmopolitan culture. Among the fastest growing cities in the world, Bengaluru is ranked India’s second best city for students in the QS Best Student Cities Ranking 2023.
India’s software and technology hub, Bengaluru hosts 1.5 million engineers and software professionals employed by transnational IT/ICT companies such as Infosys Technologies and Wipro which have their head offices in the city, as also of other IT industry behemoths such as TCS and HCL. In addition, almost all major multi-billion dollar American IT multinationals including Microsoft, Dell and Texas Instruments among others, have established their India offices in Bangalore.
Unsurprisingly, Bengaluru’s IT/ICT sector accounts for 40 percent of the country’s aggregate annual computer software exports revenue of $195 billion (Rs.14 lakh crore). Besides, the city also hosts several other industries such as pharma, aerospace, finance, textiles manufacturing, and local handicrafts.
The best schools in Bengaluru feature a mix of new-genre international schools and progressive K-12 institutions affiliated with the CISCE/CBSE/IB national school leaving examination boards.
