TheUniversity 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’. 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, BSc, BCom and BT
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 during1924 ,
thus laying a firm foundation for the multi-faculty character of the
university. In 1941, new courses leading to BA honours were added.
