The Central College, Bengaluru was started in 1886 by the British government to award University Degrees. It was renamed as the Bangalore University from Central College, Bangalore by the University Grants Commission (India) on 10 July 1964 by the government under the then State of Mysore to consolidate institutions of higher education in the city of Bangalore. The Bangalore University, which was created out of University of Mysore in 1964, was operated for many years from the Central College till 1973, when the Jnana Bharathi campus was established. Sir C. V. Raman, Nobel Laureate Physicist, was associated with the University while working at the Indian Institute of Science. He had announced his Nobel winning work at the University premises based in Central College, Bengaluru in 1927. He was awarded the Nobel prize in 1930. The Central College Campus retained as the City Campus of Bangalore University houses the City offices of the Vice Chancellor, Registrar, Registrar (Evaluation), Finance (Examination part), UGC Academic Staff College, Directorate of Correspondence Courses and Distance Education Centre, Directorate of College Development Council, Directorate of Physical Education and a few post graduate departments and support services, with a state of the art Jnana Jyothi Auditorium. Besides, the Central College also has the Central College Cricket Pavilion where the Karnataka State Cricket Association was first established and trained several cricketers of International repute. Central College Bengaluru (1858) is one of the oldest colleges in India. This college was originally affiliated to University of Mysore in Mysore State. Rev. J. Garrett was the first principal of the Central High School, which was afterwards renamed Central College. In 1964, with the reorganization of the Indian state and the formation of Karnataka, Central College was transferred to Bangalore University, a new university formed in 1965 to meet the needs of the people of Bengaluru. Initially, the two colleges of the city, the Central College (CC) and the University Visvesvaraya College of Engineering (UVCE) formed the nucleus of Bangalore University.

The terminal at Baiyappanahalli is a result of the Centre’s ambition to modernise railway stations. Indian Railways invested Rs 314 crore in the 4,200-sq metre terminal. Prominent features and services, which have drawn comparisons with Kempegowda International Airport, include seven platforms, a fully air-conditioned lobby, parking space for 900 two-wheelers and 250 four-wheelers

Also there is a SBI ATM inside this Metro near the Ticket Counter. This station is not at all crowded & one can quickly board in the Metro without any hassle. …

Sir M Visveswaraya Station, Central College metro station comes under the purple line metro. This is a small station next to the majestic station. It is an underground metro station, an escalator available to come down to get tickets, the platform is again a floor down. It is well maintained and the toilet rooms are clean as well.

Like any other Metro station in Bangalore, it's clean and well maintained. At present ( Feb 2021), after the Covid issue, has started to function and very less commuters are using at present and it's so ideal to travel peacefully like the initial days when metro operations began. ATMs and washroom available.

Most well designed station. Loved this place the most. I have driven on the above road a thousand times and have seen the Metro been constructed, suffered road diversions ans blocks, but when I alighted at this station, I was so impressed, cannot imagine. Great work guys. Kudos to BMRCL.

Underground station with it conditioning ,small station hence you don't have to walk that much . Used this station to visit Avenue Road which is at a walkable distance of 500m Better to take this station rather than Chickpet station(Green Line) if you have to visit Avenue Road

Very neat and clean maintained station, It's an underground station , so please don't judge the station's small outer security post or entry point. camera and all other luggage will be checked via machines. Purple line train rout. Thumbs up to Bengaluru Metro..
