Maps, Directions, and Place Reviews
History
In the year 1886, the British Government started this university under the name of Central College, Bangalore - for the purpose of conferring a university degree. Later, on 10th July 1964, following the directions of the government controlled by the then state of Mysore, UGC which was on the mission of unifying all the higher education organizations, renamed this entity from Central College, Bangalore to Bangalore University.
Currently, the university is operating from two of its large premises. The Central College premises and Jnana Bharathi (JB) premises are those two main premises, from where the various administrative and educational activities are carried out. Both, research and education, are managed, from different departments, of both of these premises.
The two original educational institutions of Bangalore, Central college (est. 1886) and University Visveswaraiah College of Engineering (UVCE) (est. 1917) were brought under the management of this university. When the Karnataka state University Ordinance was passed in 1975, for the express intent of bringing uniformity among all the universities of the state, this university lost its status of an association and turned into an affiliate of the state. In 1973, the university shifted into the JB area, which is a vast area spanning around 1100 acres (4.5 km.).
Bangalore University progressed and expanded continuously during the 20th century. Later, it gave birth to and nurtured many reputed institutions like Visveswaraiah Technological University, Rajiv Gandhi Health Science University and National Institute of Mental Health and Neuroscience.
