Overview

About DVS College of Arts and Science

DVS College of Arts and Science is an arts, science and commerce college in Shivamogga, Karnataka, established in 1966. DVS College of Arts and Science is government-aided. It is affiliated to Kuvempu University. Its programmes are approved by the UGC. DVS College of Arts and Science offers 4 programmes at undergraduate level. They are Bachelor of Arts (B.A), Bachelor of Science (B.Sc), Bachelor of Computer Applications (Self financed) and B.Com. & Ca Coaching (Self financed). The current 2026–27 admissions notice identifies the institution as DVS College of Arts and Science and states affiliation to Kuvempu University. The college was formerly affiliated with the University of Mysore. The official website also uses the name DVS College of Arts, Science & Commerce; the address and institution are the same. The faculty page is undated and is treated as the current roster. The reported faculty total is a count of 67 unique names on that roster; it contains 68 department entries because Dr. Anil Kumar H.V. appears under both Botany and Environmental Science. The Ph.D. count includes roster entries marked Ph.D., (Ph.D.), or phD. No 2026–27 college academic calendar was found; the timetable page lists years only through 2021–22. The current college website lists admissions for AY 2026-27 and uses “DVS College of Arts and Science”; official pages also use “DVS College of Arts, Science & Commerce” and “D.V.S. Arts & Science College, Shimoga.” The college was formerly affiliated with the University of Mysore and is now affiliated with Kuvempu University. Official pages differ on campus area—about 2 acres on an older About page versus about 3 acres on the Facilities page—and on library holdings: 38,300 books on an older institutional page versus 44,726 books on the library page updated 17-12-2025; the current figures are recorded here. An older group page reports B+, which conflicts with the current college NAAC page and 2026 prospectus; the current college-page value is used. The campus extends over about 3 acres.
