Vidhyavahini College

Our place is located right off NH 4 in Tumkur, specifically in the Kuvempunagar area. We act as the coordinators for the Sikkim Manipal University programs here, so there is always someone coming in to ask about distance education or how to submit their assignments. It’s a bit of a busy spot because of the highway being so close, so you hear the trucks going by all day. We have a small office where we keep all the files and handle the registration for the students who live around here. Most of the people who come to us are working jobs and trying to finish a degree at the same time, so they are usually in a bit of a hurry. We try to keep the paperwork moving so they don't have to wait around too long. The building is easy enough to spot if you are looking for it. We don't have a big campus with a canteen or anything, it is more of a practical place where the administrative work gets done. Tumkur has changed a lot over the years and we’ve seen more students coming through looking for these kinds of courses. We just stay focused on the office hours and making sure the university details are handled right. It’s a steady job and we meet a lot of different people coming through the doors for their study materials.
