Bangalore has a number of Pre-University Colleges teaching various courses. Here, in this article, we have talked about some of the best pu colleges in Bangalore.

Pre-University Colleges (PUC) are the most popular choice after Xth. After the Xth board exam, the most important exam a student has to appear is for XII. Pre-University Colleges are also called Junior Colleges in some states. To get an admission to any topmost university of India, you need a Pre Univerity Certificate.

As soon as the students finish with their secondary examinations, parents and the students start to hunt for colleges. But one has to be very careful in choosing the right college, as this can be the turning point of a student’s career.

After completing the PU course, there are an endless number of opportunities available for the students. However, it should be noted that 2013 was the last batch of 2nd PUC state board. Now all pu colleges in bangalore have switched over to CBSE curriculum and the students are taught books similar to students studying in CBSE schools.

Also, the exam is conducted by the state board and the result is announced by the Pre University Department, Government of Karnataka.
