Bangalore University students now get speedier access to their degree certificates before their convocation thanks to the new online portal opened by university officials.

The initiative launched in partnership with MeritTrac Services, atesting and examination Services Company, allows Bangalore University students, who have completed their degree in 2010, to download their certificates online.

Bangalore University vice chancellor N Prabhu Dev said “During the first phase, only students who have completed their degree in 2010 will be eligible to apply for the convocation certificate. In the second phase, all students, including previous and forthcoming years, will be able to access this service,”

Students can go to www.bub.ernet.in and feed their BU registration number, and provide personal details (address, contact information, etc). Students can download the certificate- by paying a small fee of Rs 317-within two hours if they provide the required documents. The original certificate will be sent through post to their address within a month. The e-convocation certificates will be valid only until the main annual convocation after which students will have to get the original certificates.

The Story Behind Shera The Mascot

Published by pratyushkp on October 5th, 2010 - in Social, Technology

Idiom design’s responsible for Commonwealth Mascot Shera

As the commonwealth games opens with a roar of pride today, one mustn’t forget our lovable mascot Shera who is roaring loud enough to awaken the sprit of healthy competition among the athletes.

Shera was designed by Bangalore-based Idiom Designs and Solutions who won the mandate for coming up with the look for the Commonwealth Games (CWG). The company was not only responsible for the CWG mascot Shera, they were also entrusted with the responsibility to create the chakra logo, graphics and the overall look of the city, in the competitive as well as the non-competitive venue’s in the state.

According to Sonia Manchanda, Principal Designer, Idiom, who was in-charge of the project, every element they designed had a story or a concept behind it. The idea behind the Logo which looks like petals spiraling upwards, for which the Idiom’s design team has  incorporated the 24 chakras of the National Flag to symbolize movement, self-reliance and the independence of India, was to have something that could prove inspirational, youthful, festive and celebratory while the rising chakras capture the “energy and spirit” of the nation.

The lovable shera was designed to represent energy, speed and courage.
