Examination

The Bengaluru City University started functioning from the Central College Campus.  First batch of students for the 1^st semester of UG / PG / other courses were admitted during the academic year 2018-19.  At the same time, it was a reality to note that there were no permanent staff with / without relevant experience in university administration.  It was decided to adopt the Bangalore University syllabus for the first batch students.  But the onus was left on the University to manage its examination section as well as academic and finance section on its own.  As there was scarcity of manpower with university experience, as there was scarcity of physical and computer infrastructure, it was decided to use technology to automate entire process of examination and other sections that were related to examination section.
