Bangalore Students: Join Inter-College Sports Competitions This Season — Storyblocks

The inaugural College Sports India Football Championship featuring eight top Bangalore colleges including RVCE, St. Joseph's and Azim Premji University is scheduled this Sunday at HAL Sports Club.

Upcoming Football Championship

Students at participating colleges can enter through their institution's sports programs for the event at HAL Sports Club. The championship provides a direct entry point for those seeking to compete at the inter-college level in football.

Revised Sports Quota Rules

The Karnataka Examination Authority approved revised sports quota rules for professional courses effective next year. These require consistent sports participation from Classes 10-12 with grading based on state, national, Asian or Olympic level achievements. Prospective participants should maintain records of their involvement across those years to qualify.

New Sports Facility Development

Bengaluru City University is developing a Rs 70 crore state-of-the-art multi-discipline sports facility at Central College expected to be functional by July 2027. The site will include an indoor arena, swimming pool and cricket stadium once complete, offering future training and competition options for students.

Recent Tournament Highlights

Bangalore University's inter-collegiate wrestling tournament held at RC College crowned Gokul K. from New Horizon College as the Gold medalist. Acharya Institute of Graduate Studies hosted the Bengaluru City University Inter-College Handball Tournament selection trials for 2025-26 where St Joseph's CC won the men's championship and Acharya secured runner-up. These results illustrate active pathways through university-level events at established college grounds.

Students interested in starting should contact their college sports departments to confirm eligibility for upcoming fixtures and review the updated quota criteria with the Karnataka Examination Authority ahead of next year's application cycle.
