Detailed
Official University of Mysore statement of marks issued for Vijaya Kumari Ramakrishna following completion of the Final Bachelor of Arts Degree Examination in 1964. The document survives as a printed university examination form completed in blue manuscript ink and bearing institutional signatures, tabulation verification, examination control endorsements, and administrative numbering.
The statement records Vijaya Kumari Ramakrishna under Register Number 10588 and identifies the examination as part of the “Three-Year Degree Course.” Major subjects listed include Philosophy and Sociology, with a notation referencing Bhagavad Gita studies within the Philosophy curriculum. The document preserves marks structures, minimum pass requirements, aggregate calculations, and official examination procedures used by the University of Mysore during the early 1960s.
Materially, the document is representative of mid-20th-century Indian university bureaucracy, when examination records were manually tabulated, signed, verified, and formally issued through centralized administrative processes. The printed format, manuscript additions, serial numbering, and multiple verification signatures together preserve evidence of the paper-based academic administrative systems that governed higher education in Mysore State during the post-independence period.
The statement is additionally important within the family archive because it documents Vijaya Kumari Ramakrishna’s successful completion of university studies at Maharani’s College, Bangalore, then affiliated with the University of Mysore. As the first woman in the extended family to complete a university degree, the document represents a major educational and generational milestone.
