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.

NET E-Certificate in 6 Days!

Candidates clearing the National Eligibility Test (UGC-NET) will now receive an e-certificate in just six days' time. Presently, it takes at the least six months for the University Grants Commission (UGC) to issue the certificate from the day the results are declared. The e-certificate will not just reach the candidate in six days, but it can as well be verified with the UGC in just 24 hours, as against the present verification process time period of a minimum four months!


The e-certificate initiative was launched recently by Human Resource Development (HRD) minister Kapil Sibal in New Delhi. He also released a compendium of the UGC schemes on the occasion. In the compendium, 63 schemes of the UGC have been synoptically profiled, covering the objectives of each scheme, the criteria for becoming eligible to receive financial assistance from the UGC, the operational tenure of the scheme and the process of selection followed in approving the proposals, and finally the quantum of financial assistance that can be provided to execute the scheme.


The NET & the State Eligibility Test (SET) are the qualifying exams for the appointment of assistant professors at universities and colleges recognised by the UGC. NET is also the qualifying exam for UGC's junior research fellowship (JRF) scheme. The UGC guidelines for 2009 have made the qualification mandatory for teachers. The central and the state governments have given prime importance on getting all the existing teachers at universities and affiliated colleges clear either one of the two qualifying exams.


The UGC conducts the NET twice a year in June and December in 77 subjects at 74 centres across the country. While the examination for the award of JRF is being conducted since 1984, the NET is being conducted since 1989. The number of fellowships under the NET scheme has been increased from 2,000 to 6,400 per annum since 2010. In June, 2010, 10,433 candidates successfully cleared the NET for assistant professorship, including JRF. The UGC has also taken steps for online registration for the NET so that all the necessary information with regards to the candidates, including their photographs, is collected at the time of registration. The information thus collected is proposed to be used for the award of the e-certificates once the results are announced.


The NET E-Certificate will successfully solve the much time consuming verifivation process of the present as the UGC keeps receiving requests at regular intervals from various institutions seeking verification of NET certificates which are presented by candidates seeking admission to the Ph.D courses or appointment at a college or university, which takes, at the least, four months at present!
