PUC

Vikaas Pre-University College came into existence in June 2012. The first batch of students consisted of 183 students from different parts of Karnataka. In a matter of 5 years the number of students has gone up to 900. Among these 700 reside in our hostels. The college caters to the Science and Commerce streams.

It has the required infrastructure and manpower to support its quest for excellence. The teachers are trained to empower students to explore their potential to the fullest.

The Trust comprises members who are qualified, competent and committed to the field of education. With a vision to provide quality education for today’s globalized and competitive world they set up Vikaas Group of Institutions.

Vikaas Education Trust established Vikaas Group of Institutions in the year 1993, and as a maiden venture started the College of Physiotherapy in the same year. The college offers a Bachelors Degree course.

With the experience of managing a Physiotherapy College and inspired by the success, the Trust sought to reach out to the larger interests of the society. There was an acute shortage of quality Pre-University Colleges in Mangaluru; at the same time, parents from other parts of Karnataka wanted their children to study in Mangaluru. To cater to both needs, the Trust started Vikaas Pre-University College.

The college has an exhaustive library with books related to academics, general knowledge, biographies and magazines. Daily newspapers are also available. A separate virtual library with uninterrupted internet facility is available. The library is managed by qualified and experienced librarians and assistants to help the staff and students gain access to the reading material. Students can avail the facility from 08.30 am to 05.00 pm on working days.

Every year, a Career Guidance programme is conducted for the II PU students to update their knowledge about the various avenues in the field of Science and Technology. Subject experts from various fields are invited as resource persons for this programme.

Vikaas PU College functions with the belief that merely academic input is not sufficient for a student to succeed in life. Considering the challenges of the corporate world, the college has taken steps to train the students in the value added courses. This would help every student to develop a multi-faceted personality to become a cut above the rest.

A twenty-minute session of yoga and meditation is conducted daily for the mental and physical relaxation of the students.

Periodic examinations are conducted to assess students’ assimilation of the subject and to enhance their performance. The number of examinations is as follows:

• 4 monthly tests of 25 marks each.
• 1 Terminal Examination, 2 Preparatory Examinations for II PU and PU Board Examinations for both I & II PU students.
• The academic work is supervised by the Correspondent, the Principal and a team of Class Guides.

Attendance is taken at the commencement of each period and the student who is not there in the class is marked absent for the period.

As per the regulations of the PU Board, students attending less than 75% classes in any subject will not be allowed to take the Annual Examination/Board Examination. Leave of absence can be taken only when it is granted by the Principal.
