As the 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 juncture 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 in India. Students from Sri Lanka, the African continent, theGulf countries, Singapore and Malaysia gradually, yet steadily, opted for HIET. Thisirresistible quest for knowledge slowly paved the way for the commencement ofother Institutions under Hindustan Group of Institutions (HGI).
