UNIVERSITY OF MYSORE Ph.D. PROSPECTUS

Dear Research Scholar,

The University of Mysore welcomes you to its picturesque campus. The following
details provide you the necessary information about this prestigious institution of higher
learning.

ABOUT THE UNIVERSITY

The University of Mysore was established on 27th July,

1916 during the benevolent reign of the Maharaja of Mysore,
His Highness Nalvadi Krishnaraja Wodeyar (1884-1940). The
genesis of the University of Mysore stems from a five year long
in-depth reading and analysis on higher education across the
globe. The mission of the University of Mysore, laid down in the
1916 regulations published in the Mysore Gazette
Extraordinary, aims at 'promoting teaching and research in
conventional and traditional domains of Arts, Humanities, Pure
and Applied Sciences and Professional disciplines'. Krishna Raja Wodeyar IV
Sir M Visvesvaraya (1860-1962) played a decisive role in the
launch of the University. The University, since then, has gone through different phases of
development. Started with just two faculties, namely Arts and Science offering BA, B.Sc and
B.Com courses, the University added Engineering faculty in 1917, MA programs at Maharaja's
College, Mysore in 1918, MSc program at Central College, Bangalore in 1919 and the faculty
of Medicine in Mysore during 1924 , thus laying a firm foundation for the multi-faculty
character of the University. In 1941, new courses leading to BA honours were added.

During the post-independent period, from 1947-1960, the

University enacted new Act of 1956 which ushered in academic
autonomy. It also facilitated the introduction of Pre-University
System of education by abolishing intermediate courses. With
the support of the University Grants Commission (UGC), which
came into existence in 1956, post-graduate education was
expanded significantly. In 1960, a major development was the
conglomeration of all the post-graduate studies of the University
at one location during the tenure of the Vice-Chancellorship of
Dr. K.V. Puttappa. This location was christened "Manasagangotri"
meaning `eternal spring of the mind' adjacent to Kukkarahalli lake within the heart of the

1
Ph.D. PROSPECTUS UNIVERSITY OF MYSORE

heritage city of Mysore in a picturesque area of 739 acres. The year 1966 was commemorated
as the Golden Jubilee year and a corpus fund of Rs 2.85 crores was instituted for awards and
prizes under various categories.

Today the University has 42 Postgraduate

Departments at the Main Campus,
Manasagangotri, 2 Postgraduate Centres, viz.,
Tubinakere, Mandya, Hemagangotri, Hassan
with 5 Postgraduate Departments each and one
Satellite Centre at Chamarajanagar with 3
Postgraduate Departments. It is providing
higher education to about 85 lakh students, of
which over 10,000 are Postgraduates. As many
as 1400 students are from 50 countries pursuing higher studies in this University. Some of
these countries are China, Iran, Jordan, Thailand, Indonesia, Egypt, Syria, Tanzania,
Uzbekistan, Kazakhastan, Kirghizia, Mongolia, Uganda, Yemen, Kenya, Palestine, Srilanka,
Bangladesh and Nepal. While adopting and realizing the policy of inclusive growth creating
opportunities to every deserving persons new courses and programs such as Masters in
Biotechnology, Microbiology, Electronics, Genetics, Electronic Media, Geographical
Information Systems, Information Technology and Management, Computer Cognition
Technology, Financial Analysis and Management, Tourism Administration etc., have been
introduced in a phased manner to meet the emerging needs of the technology and society
and to develop necessary human resources. Career Oriented Courses, such as e-commerce
Bio-informatics, Clinical Informatics, Office Automation etc., are also being offered.

The University has developed excellent infrastructure for curricular and co-curricular
activities. The University Library has a collection of over 6.2 lakh books, reference works and
journal back volumes. In addition, the individual constituent colleges/ institutes and
departments maintain their own book collections amounting to another 4 lakh. The E-
resource Portal developed by the library
facilitates access to 6500 UGC-INFONET
E-journals, 7000 Open Access Journals, 17000
licensed e-books, Lakhs of Open Access
e-books, a number of databases, e-theses,
institutional repositories and other information
sources. The library has set up a Career

2
UNIVERSITY OF MYSORE Ph.D. PROSPECTUS

Information Resource Center and Learning Resource Center for Visually Challenged. The
main campus features an amphitheater, an auditorium, a swimming pool, and hostels for
women and men with modern amenities and comforts.

After assessing its overall performance, the University of Mysore was first accredited
by National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) with Five Star status in the year
2000 and has been reaccredited in 2006 at A+ level and again re-accredited with A grade in
2013. Current Science has ranked the University of Mysore as one of the top 20 Universities in
Scientific and Research activities.

Considering the progress of the University in all directions and its contributions to the
society, the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India has considered
University of Mysore as Institution of Excellence and has awarded special grant of Rs.100
Crore for establishing Centre of Excellence in ``Biodiversity, Bioprospecting and Sustainable
Development'' and also to strengthen infrastructural facilities in the University. On
recommendation of Karnataka Knowledge Commission, the Karnataka Government
considered University of Mysore as an Innovative University. University of Mysore is
recipient of several research and other academic programs of UGC, CSIR, DST and DBT and
other agencies of Govt. of India. It is pertinent to mention that very recently, University
Grants Commission has awarded University of Mysore University with Potential for
Excellence (UPE) /status has extended financial assistance of Rs.50 Crores for research
activities and for holistic development of the University. With the heritage that the University
enjoys, and the committed Faculty and non-teaching Staff it has, there is no doubt the
University of Mysore leaves no stone unturned to move forward to maintain high standards in
teaching, learning and research and accomplish excellence in higher education.
