  • INTRODUCTION

    The Platinum Jubilee Year 2012 of our University has been eventful with a host of developments

    and achievements to our credit. As the Mother University in the State, it has earned a special place in

    the hearts and minds of the people of Kerala. Our University established on 1st November, 1937 as the

    University of Travancore through a royal promulgation of His Highness Sri Chitira Thirunal Balarama

    Varma, the last Maharajah of the erstwhile princely State of Travancore has been the Alma Mater of

    several lakhs of people. The University, later renamed 'University of Kerala' in 1957, after the formation

    of the State of Kerala, has moulded millions of students into professionals in their respective fields. The

    Platinum Jubilee of the University was celebrated in a befitting manner. Academic initiatives, development

    activities, student welfare schemes, foreign collaborations, arts and sports festivals, seminars, lectures

    and a host of other programmes were organized to mark the occasion.

    The world has seen rapid changes in the creation and propagation of knowledge in the last few

    decades. The growth of information technology has led to a paradigm shift in higher education. The

    revolution created by the Information and Communication Technology has changed the world in the

    way it thinks and behaves. To keep pace with the emerging trends, the University too has introduced

    several transformative steps.

    The University introduced the School System for major Departments during the year. This

    umbrella system will help in the sharing of resources and will provide a platform for interdisciplinary

    studies and research. The new system will create a synergy between the activities of different departments.

    The proposed schools will be headed by a Director, appointed by the University. The different departments

    under the school can continue to function separately but there will be a single administration. The

    facilities too have to be shared among the Departments. The new system will facilitate collaborative

    research projects.

    The establishment of Learner Support Centres to conduct study programmes offered by the

    Institute of Distance Education is another achievement. The objective is to reach out to students all over

    Kerala, to popularize mass education and to realize the goal, "education for all" and to impart quality

    education at an affordable cost to the disadvantaged sections of the society. These Centres will help

    thousands of students to continue their studies and fulfill their long cherished dream.

    The University has introduced an on-line Admission portal to all UG Courses, which allows all

    UG admissions under the University on-line. The students of Kerala University will now be able to

    verify their mark lists on-line as a system for On-line Verification of Marklists and Degree Certificates

    has been launched. Students applying for higher studies and jobs abroad will be benefited by the

    system.

    The Research Portal, a single point securely hosted solution, is customized to seamlessly integrate,

    search and manage the research activities of the University. The Research portal will cover various

    aspects related to Ph.D research. It is envisaged to streamline the administrative processes involved in

  • submitting the application, issuing registration order and the like. Application for Ph.D registration as

    well as submission of monthly progress report is expected to be switched over to online.

    The future of University education and the shape of things to come are being debated. The need

    of the hour is to produce graduates equipped with the right skills and required mastery. Broadening the

    scope of participation and providing every person the right opportunities to higher learning should be

    our paramount goal. In a world characterized by rapid change, it would be a difficult task to predict this

    with any measure of certainty. But all of us along with the well-wishers of our University can have some

    degree of confidence that the decisions and choices we have made today reflect the new thinking and

    are poised to take advantage of the immense opportunities that are opening up.

  • A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSITY

    The University of Travancore, which later became the University of Kerala,

    was established in 1937 by a promulgation of the Maharaja of Travancore, Sri

    Chithira Thirunal Balarama Varma who was also the first Chancellor of the

    University. Sir C. P. Ramaswamy Ayyar, the then Diwan of the State, was the

    first Vice-Chancellor. It was the sixteenth University to be set up in India and

    ten colleges within the State of Travancore which were affiliated to the Madras

    University became the affiliated colleges of the University of Travancore.

    In 1957, the Kerala University Act, Act 14 of 1957, was brought into force

    and the University of Travancore was renamed University of Kerala. The

    University had three campuses located in Thiruvananthapuram, Ernakulam and

    Kozhikode. In 1968, the University Centre at Kozhikode became a full -fledged

    University covering the Colleges and Departments located in Thrissur, Palakkad,

    Kozhikode and Kannur Districts of Kerala. The Cochin University of Science and

    Technology and the Kerala Agricultural University were set up in 1971 and in

    1983, the Mahatma Gandhi University was established. With the establishment

    of these Universities, the area of the jurisdiction of the University of Kerala has

    been limited to Thiruvananthapuram, Kollam, Alappuzha Districts and some parts

    of Pathanamthitta District.

    There are 236 affiliated colleges. Of these, 67 are Arts and Science colleges.

    They include 10 Government Colleges, 37 aided and 20 unaided institutions.

    There are five Law colleges (1 Government, 1 Private and 3 unaided), 38

    Engineering colleges (of which two are Government Colleges, one is aided and 35

    are unaided), 2 Architecture Colleges (unaided), seven Medical Colleges (five are

    self financing), 50 Teachers’ Training Colleges (one Government, six aided and

    43 unaided) , four Ayurveda Colleges (three are unaided), two Homeopathy Colleges,

    one Siddha Medical College (self financing), two Fine Arts Colleges (Government),

    one Music College (Government), five Dental Colleges (of which four are unaided),

    five unaided Pharmacy Colleges and one College of Physical Education. Besides

    these, there are seventeen affiliated institutions conducting two year full time

    MBA course (one government in existing Government Engineering College), one

    aided (in existing aided Engineering College), and 15 self financing. (out of which

    5 are is existing unaided Engineering College), Nine colleges offering MCA. (1

    government in existing Government Engineering College) 1 aided (in existing

    Nursing Colleges (22 self financing), four unaided Hotel Management and Catering

    Technology Colleges, one college of Special Education (unaided) and two Para

    Medical Colleges (unaided). The University College of Engineering in Kariavattom

    Campus offers B. Tech. in Information Technology, Computer Science &

    Engineering and Electronics & Communication Engineering. Of these 50 Colleges,

    which offer courses under the Faculty of Medicine have been brought under the

    201-11 onwards.

    The University Departments offer a wide range of teaching and research

    at post-graduate, M.Phil. and Ph.D. levels. The courses in the Departments are

    conducted in the Credit and Semester System, while the Post Graduate courses

    in affiliated colleges follow the Semester pattern. The 42 departments have now

    been reorganized into eleven schools. So far out of the 11 schools proposed

    Directors have been nominated for six. University has revamped the under

    graduate stream by introducing the Choice Based Credit and Semester System

    in the affiliated colleges. At present, about 32 Colleges offer post graduate teaching

    programmes. Some of the affiliated colleges offer M. Phil. courses and some have

    been recognized as research centres. The University has also recognized a

    number of other institutions as research centres. All these institutions

    conform to the aims and objectives of the University and its programme of teaching

    and research.

    The University’s Colleges of Teacher Education (launched in 1990-91),

    offer B. Ed. and the 12 University Institutes of Technology offer courses like

    Computer Science, Electronics, Business Administration, Computer Application

    etc., Two UIT centres conduct M. Sc. Computer Science and one UIT offers MBA.

    The Institute of Distance Education which has been shifted to the Senate

    Hall Campus in 2012 offers courses in subjects like Computer Science and

    Computer Application, besides the traditional degree and post - graduate courses.

    With the abolition of Private Registration at the post-graduate level, the Institute

    of Distance Education now offers all the PG courses which were once offered

    through private registration.

    In addition to the Departments of teaching, the University also has several

    centres for studies and research in special areas. The International Centre for

    manuscripts, has been made the State Nodal Agency for the preservation and

  • documentation of manuscripts. A Digital Heritage Archiving Centre also functions

    in the Library.

    The Department of Publications, one of the oldest Departments of the

    University, has brought out a series of glossaries in science subjects, popular

    science books and translations of classics. The five volume Kerala Sahitya

    Charithram written by Mahakavi Ulloor S. Parameswara Ayyar and the series

    Sahithya Nayakanmar (Men of Letters) are some of the most prestigious publications

    of the Department. The Chitra Ramayana, based on palm - leaf manuscripts, is

    another notable publication. The University has also published the first ever

    complete English translation of Hortus Malabaricus, the classical treatise on the

    plant wealth of Asia and the tropics, in 2003. Its Malayalam version was published

    in 2008.

    synthetic track. The construction of a new Stadium with governmental support

    Kariavattom is also in progress The establishment of the Lakshmibai National

    College of Physical Education at Kariavattom, managed by the Government of

    India, is another landmark in the history of the University. Another significant

    Functional English etc., in the Centre for Adult Continuing Education and

    Extension. The CACEE received the UNESCO - NLM award for Literacy in 2005.

    on-line registration and e-payment for examinations. The on-line degree

    verification system and the new examination and portals are also the contribution

  • of the Computer Centre. These efforts have won laurels in the form of widespread

    appreciation and the State Government’s award for e-governance.

    The University of Kerala has widened its horizons by entering into academic

    cooperation with some foreign Universities like Valladolid of Spain and Claremont

    of the United States of America. The UGC has identified the University as one of

    the 26 institutions selected for promotion of India Studies by foreign students.

    The National Assessment and Accreditation Committee has placed the University

    at the B++ grade. In 2006-07, the University organised the Suvarnakeralam

    celebrations, to mark the Golden Jubilee of the formation of the State of Kerala.
