Kerala University!

The University of Kerala (Kerala University as it is called as well) is a university based in Thiruvananthapuram, the state capital of Kerala. It was established in 1937, much before the birth of the state of Kerala in India.


The University of Kerala, which was the University of Travancore when it was founded, 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 three different parts of the State viz. Thiruvananthapuram, Ernakulam and Kozhikode. Now, with the establishment of Calicut (1968) Kerala Agricultural (1971) & M.G (1983) Universities & Cochin University of Science and Technology(1971), the area of the jurisdiction of the University of Kerala has been limited to Thiruvananthapuram, Kollam, Alappuzha Districts and some parts of Pathanamthitta District.


The university has 16 faculties and 41 departments of teaching and research. There are 81 affiliated colleges. Of these 45 are aided first grade Arts and Science Colleges, 8 are unaided first grade Arts and Science Colleges, 2 are Law Colleges, 4 Engineering Colleges, 2 Medical Colleges, 7 Aided Teachers Training Colleges, 6 Unaided Teachers Training Colleges, 1 Ayurveda College, 1 Homeopathy College, 2 Fine Arts Colleges, 1 Music College and 1 College of Physical Education. Besides this, there is an Affiliated Institute conducting 2-year full time MBA course. The University has recently started an Engineering College in its Kariavattom campus.
