Collegiate Education in Karnataka State

Abstract

From Chapt. 1 Introduction: Collegiate education is an important component of higher education in Karnataka State. The higher education in the State comprises general education, technical education, medical education and agricultural education. The general higher education comprises the university education and collegiate education. Up to 1976, education was in the list of State subjects under the Constitution of India. However, since the 42"'* amendment to the constitution in 1976, education has been placed under the concurrent list. Thus, both Union Government and State Governments can formulate policies and programmes for development of education including higher education in the country. This is clearly evident in the recent policy document of Government of India (2000) and Government of Karnataka (2002).
