The Presidency Group of Institutions was established in 1976 by Mr. Abdul Hameed, with a vision to make quality education accessible to all. What began humbly with just two rooms and four students soon evolved into a mission for academic excellence, co-founded with his nephew, Dr. Nissar Ahmed, under the banner of St. Paul’s English School (later renamed Presidency School).
Through their dedication and foresight, the institution grew steadily in strength and reputation. After the untimely passing of Mr. Abdul Hameed, the mantle of leadership was taken up by the young and visionary Dr. Nissar Ahmed, whose commitment and determination elevated the Presidency Group into a distinguished name in education, known for its excellence, inclusivity, and forward-thinking approach.
Today, with over four decades of legacy, the Presidency Group of Institutions stands as one of Karnataka’s most respected educational organizations. It offers a holistic and transformative learning experience that seamlessly blends academics, innovation, and character-building.
