UGC tells KSOU to continue with admissions till Oct. 20
MYSURU, OCTOBER 04, 2018 00:00 IST
Oct. 1 was the last date for admissions to 17 in-house programmes
Karnataka State Open University (KSOU), Mysuru, has extended the last date for admission to 17 courses to October 20 with the University Grants Commission asking the varsity to continue with the admissions. October 1 was the last date. However, KSOU Vice-Chancellor Shivalingaiah had urged the UGC to extend the date in the interest of students.
The UGC, after a meeting on September 27, took a decision to extend the date of admissions in all higher educational institutions (HEIs), including KSOU, for the year 2018-19. The UGC has asked the universities to complete admissions by that date and not make any admissions thereafter.
Prof. Shivalingaiah said over 8,000 people have taken admissions so far and thanked the UGC for its gesture.
However, the UGC’s decision on KSOU’s plea for granting recognition to 15 more courses was awaited.
The UGC has told the HEIs that they can submit an appeal in case their representation for granting recognition to the courses was not considered within 30 days from the date of its letter.
The KSOU recently made another attempt to persuade the UGC to accord permission for 15 courses that did not get its nod in the previous attempt. Out of 32 courses for which recognition was sought, the UGC granted its nod for only 17 courses. It turned down permission for B.Ed., MBA and LL.M. as it was said that these courses required consent from the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE), the AICTE and the Bar Council of India (BCI) respectively.
