Recruiting additional teachers imperative, says VC
The University of Mysore proposes to introduce shift system in colleges from the new academic year to cope with additional intake of students as the government has promoted all of them following cancellation of II PUC examination due to the pandemic. Vice-Chancellor Hemantha Kumar said that he will soon convene a meeting of all principals of colleges under the jurisdiction of the university and seek their approval or suggestions. There are 228 first grade colleges under the jurisdiction of the University of Mysore with an intake capacity of around 20,000 every year. But the number of students seeking admission for first year UG courses is expected to increase to nearly 30,000. Hence colleges will be given permission to enhance their intake by creating additional sections, said Prof. Hemantha Kumar.More Related News
