FOREWORD
In the continuing task of nation building, Bangalore University is trying
to promote excellence in higher education for a vibrant and inclusive
society through knowledge creation and dissemination. It is making
sincere efforts to contribute its mite by providing the right kind of
human resources. It is striving hard to impart quality education to meet
national and global challenges, towards accomplishing its mission. For students, the
degree represents certification of competence, and a passport to advanced education or
gainful employment, and livelihood and prosperity. They have an important role to play
in the development of the Nation and hence have to handle their future with confidence
and capability.
The University is pursuing the holistic approach as education bereft of values is
meaningless and not worthy of promotion. Education is meant to inculcate right values
among students to produce socially sensitive citizens. Thus it encourages not only
curricular activities, but also co-curricular, extra-curricular and extension activities
Bangalore University took birth in the year 1964 with only 32 colleges and a student
population of 16,000. Today Bangalore University is one of the largest Universities
in Asia with about 650 affiliated colleges and a student population of about 4.00
lakhs. It has 50 post-graduate departments in two campuses and a PG centres at
Kolar which offer over 75 PG programmes. The Bangalore University has 6
specialized centres and 3 integrated programmes. It has also 3 constituent
colleges: UVCE, University Law College and University College of Physical
Education.
Bangalore University has completed 50 years of its fruitful existence. It can be
said with legitimate pride that the University has achieved far more than the
modest target set at the time of its inception by producing trained human
resource to serve the country in all walks of life and by contributing to the
knowledge base.
Bangalore University has introduced Choice Based Credit System in all its Under
Graduate and Post Graduate programmes, in the faculties of Arts, Science and
Commerce effective from the academic year 2014-15. For multifaceted development of
