Govt PU College Maddur

Government Pre-University College Maddur operates in Maddur town, Mandya district, under the Department of Pre-University Education, Government of Karnataka. Established in 2003, the college provides II PUC education in Science, Commerce, and Arts streams following the PUE Board Karnataka syllabus and examination structure.

The college offers standard PUC combinations including Science (PCMB and PCMC), Commerce (Accountancy, Business Studies, Economics), and Arts (History, Political Science, Sociology). These streams prepare students for the annual II PUC board examination, with results used for degree admissions to universities across Karnataka including the University of Mysore and Bengaluru City University.

Maddur is a taluk headquarters on the Bengaluru-Mysuru corridor, situated approximately 80 kilometres from Bengaluru and 45 kilometres from Mysuru along NH-275. The town is recognised across Karnataka as the tender coconut hub, with the highway stretch through Maddur lined with coconut vendors that have become a defining feature of the Bengaluru-Mysuru drive. Maddur Vade, a crispy snack, is a well-known culinary specialty of the region. The Shimsha River, a tributary of the Cauvery, flows through the taluk providing irrigation to surrounding agricultural areas.

As a government institution, fees are state-prescribed and minimal, ensuring access for students from the agricultural and working-class families that predominate in Mandya district. Maddur's location midway between Bengaluru and Mysuru provides students who complete their PUC with convenient access to degree colleges in either city via frequent bus and rail services. Campus infrastructure includes classrooms, a library, and laboratory facilities for science students. Admissions follow SSLC results annually, with seat allotment coordinated through the DDPU Mandya office.
