Mysuru: Former Vice-Chancellor (VC) of the University of Mysore (UoM), Prof. G. Hemanth Kumar, has stated that appointing permanent teaching staff in accordance with UGC norms is the only viable solution to increase Ph.D admissions at the University.
Reacting to recent media reports highlighting the difficulties faced by students seeking admission to Ph.D programmes due to a shortage of mentors, Prof. Hemanth Kumar said, the University has been compelled to restrict admissions because of limited faculty availability.
