SCMS Group of Educational Institutions is a national leader in higher education, especially in the fields of Management, Engineering, and Technology. Inspired by the vision of its founder Dr. G.P.C Nayar on value-based education, SCMS has a tradition of over 4 decades of sustained and focused pursuit of its objectives. There are about a dozen Institutions under its fold in diverse disciplines like Management, Engineering, Biotechnology, Architecture, Computer Applications, Polytechnics, and the like, operating from different locations in Kochi (Kerala) and Bangalore.

The Group, from the beginning, has placed great emphasis on research as an integral part of its academic programs. Research centers are established with adequate resources and are led by qualified and renowned doctoral fellows. With tie-ups and collaborations with global research institutes, interdisciplinary and collaborative research with emphasis on relevant and commercially viable areas are pursued.

From a humble beginning in 1976, when the School of Communication and Management Studies was set up to conduct a correspondence course in Mass Communication and Journalism, it has today developed into a major brand in education under the brand name SCMS Group. The uncanny ability of the Group to anticipate changes in the economy and identify opportunities for growth enabled its foray into management education on the cusp of liberalization of the Indian economy in the 1990s and opening up of the engineering education for the private self-financing sector in Kerala in 2001. The Group has since diversified into Technology and Biotechnology, Computer Applications, Architecture, Polytechnics, Commerce, and Economics and has about a dozen Institutions established at different campuses.
