Bangalore University can claim a place
of pride in the implementation of social justice as enshrined in the Constitution of
India. Bangalore University started as a nucleus of Science centers of the Mysore
University, it was endowed with the status of an University in 1964. Though originally
intended to be a Federal University comprising of leading institutions of higher Education in the
city, it eventually emerged as an affiliating University. It grew in size and variety
enormously in a short time. Even after medical and engineering colleges were all taken
away from it to form two specialized Universities recently, the Bangalore University still
commands a student strength of nearly three lakhs! As many as 375 Colleges and over 70
Post Graduate departments, making it the largest University in India, perhaps in Asia, may
be in the world!
The Bangalore University also administers four Constituent colleges, of which the Central
College and the University Visveswaraya College of Engineering are justly famous all over
the country.
