About University of Mysore
The historic University of Mysore came into being in 1916. It was formed by Krishnaraja Wodeyar IV, the erstwhile Mysore Maharaja. Most significantly, this was the first University in India that came up outside the British administration. It became the 5th Indian University to offer correspondence courses, when it offered first such course in 1969. With the centenary within line of sight, the University's new online courses seem an ideal indicator of a University that is coming of age.
