    The Universities: UOM and Karnatak universities are highly corrupt edifices. Appointments there made on the basis of caste and nepotism, and it is no wonder that professors of this low quality and probity work there.
    Indeed a, all Indian universities are institutionally corrupt, like other institutions in India. The Kuvempu university appointed years ago, the son-in-law of Kuvempu for the position of the VC. No better example of nepotism .

    Leaking out question papers has been the tradition of the UOM.
    When The government Engineering College ( later the UVCE) was the dominant college until late 1950s and early 1960s, engineering degree exam ( civil, mechanical and electrical) question papers were set by the professors there, and leaked out the questions to their respective students on the final day of the class, giving them undue advantage. Later, from mid-1960s, when Bangalore University was formed, the Regional Engineering College , Surathkal, became the defacto University engineering college for the UOM, professors there set the question papers for engineering degree exams ( civil, mechanical and electrical) question papers for engineering exams, and they in turn leaked out questions to their respective students, giving them undue advantage.
    This has been the tradition of the UOM, and indeed one could say most universities in India. When these students arrive in the West, for their post graduate degrees, most of them would not make it. It is a myth , perpetrated by many in India, some how, Indian students are the best, forgetting the Chinese students outperform them.
