Bengaluru: The Karnataka Cabinet yesterday approved a draft Bill proposing to grant Deemed University status to the National Institute of Engineering (NIE), Mysuru. The Bill has to be passed in the Legislature for NIE to get the Deemed University status.
It may be recalled here that Infosys Founder N.R. Narayana Murthy, the alumnus of NIE, had recently met Higher Education Minister G.T. Devegowda and Deputy Chief Minister Dr. G. Parameshwara requesting the Deemed University status for the institute which is one of the oldest institute in the State.
