About Bangalore University - Directorate of Correspondence Courses & Distance Education
Bangalore University (BU) is a public university located in Bangalore, Karnataka State, India. The university is one of the oldest in India, dating back to 1886. The university is a part of The Association of Indian Universities (AIU) and nears the status of "Potential for Excellence" which is reserved for the top 10 universities in India under the Guidelines of the University Grants Commission (UGC).
The University is engaged in research through MoU with foreign and local universities, organizations and institutions. Numbers of its departments are identified by UGC as Centres of Excellence.
The University was opened as the Central College,Bangalore in 1886, by the British Government to award University degrees. It was renamed as the Bangalore University from Central College,Bangalore by the UGC,India on July 10, 1964 by the government under the then State of Mysore to consolidate institutions of higher education in the city of Bangalore.
The university now operates from two campuses - the Central College Campus and the Jnana Bharathi Campus.
The Central College, Bangalore (established in 1886) and the University Visvesvaraya College of Engineering (UVCE) (established in 1912) (the two original institutions in Bangalore) were subsumed into this university. With the promulgation of the Karnataka State Universities Ordinance of 1975, which aimed at bringing uniformity to all universities in the state, the university lost its federal character and became a state-affiliated university. In 1973, the University moved to the Jnana Bharathi Campus located on 1,100 acres (4.5 km2) of land.
The Bangalore University gave birth to universities like Visvesvarya Technological University, Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Science and the National Institute Mental Health and Neuroscience.
The university has an Institute of Aerospace Medicine (IAM) which has been included by ISRO for astronaut training for the Indian space program. Bangalore University has been awarded Sir M Visvesvarya chair from ISRO to perform research in space science.
By virtue of the University producing the largest number of Ph.D.s in India, it has also established a good reputation in foreign universities. Consequently the university hosts a growing number of foreign students.
