Mangaluru, May 12 : The most important element while constructing a structure is to ensure that the foundation is strong and solid so that it weathers all seasons and situations. It applies in framing the future of a child too. So naturally when we plan about the admission of our wards, we take a concise decision as to which school or college he/she should be admitted, especially after the child passes out of 10th standard, which is a crucial juncture.

A recent visit of parents of a child to Vikas PU College at Airport Road, Mary Hill, Mangaluru completely changed their perspective about pre university education in Karnataka. Here are a few highlights on their visit to Vikas:

Vikas Pre-University College came into its existence in 2012.The first batch of students was about 184 boys and girls from different parts of Karnataka. Soon it became the “Talk of the Town”. In a matter of two years the number of students studying at Vikas has gone up to 700, out of which 560 are hostellers and the remaining, are day scholars. The College caters to both Science (PCMB, PCMC and PCMS)and Commerce (BASBM) streams. It has all the required infrastructure and manpower to give testimony to its success and excellence.
