Admission increased from 532 to 766 in two years (2014 to 2016) despite increase in fee and tough competitions from neighboring institutes (the change in total strength from 2014 to 2017 is 900 to 1500 in three years)Introduced a new teaching methodology for Science stream students ‘Reinforcing classes (RI Classes)’ - to avoid private tuition and effective time management Introduced hourly test (5 mark question test - 5MQ) for all the streams to update the students on day to day basis and facilitate in continuity in learning and understanding of the concept. Innovative & effective evaluation of teachers by the students. Weekly co-curricular activities by scholars to enhance creativity and confidence  Strategic teaching - Results in THIRD POSITION TO STATE OF KARNATAKA in 2014-15 II PU examinations (Mr Chetan S 591/600). The first time (2015) in the history of institute which has come into being in 2005. Enhanced pass percentage, fees, timings, revenue and student – teacher consultation hours Parents persuasion: Strategic planning to build confidence and increase the admission. Increased the profit margin, could able to get extra revenue and increase the salary of staff, win-win situations for management, staff, students and parents. Need of hour and market potentials to take professional examinations like JEE for IITs, CA Foundation. Self help coaching classes for JEE and CA Foundation. Key subject combinations (MEBA) to take Chartered Accountant examinations.  Organized ‘Techno-Cultural Festival’ ‘Soundary Siri Singaara’ Nov 28, 29 & 30, 2014 . Soundarya Sankramanada Suggi Jan 9, 2016. Soundarya Saggada Santhe Dec 23, 2016. Inter-school and inter-college competitions. This was designed to motivate students in entrepreneurship development, research aptitude, scientific temper, social concern and cultural attributeshttp://hkatcrossroad.blogspot.in/Institute come into being in 2005-06, appointed as SIXTH principal in 2014!

Exhaust gas recirculation to reduce obnoxious gases from two stroke engines – able to reduce obnoxious gas and improve the mileage of two stroke bike by 9 km. People contributed to success were Joseph Thomas, Anad and Anad 2. Waste plastic utilization in asphalting of roads to reduce environmental pollution caused by plastic bags. Road laid using waste plastics shown increase in strength by three times. This method was approved by Central road research institute, New Delhi and also Government of Karnataka. This technology is being utilized for laying roads inalmost all the cities in India by KK Waste management Private Limited, Bengaluru, India. (http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/938807.cms, March 25, 2002 Deccan Herald). Students worked for this project are Amjad Khan (family member of KK waste management and KK Polyflex), Gangadhar, Murali Mohan and Vinay Raykar. NOTE: All the waste plastics and rubber can be utilized to construct roads.
