Mysuru: A fresh proposal has been submitted to University Grants Commission (UGC) seeking renewal for several courses as its permission ended five to six years ago. Due to this, those courses have failed to get UGC recognition, said Prof. S. Vidyashankar, Vice-Chancellor (VC), Karnataka State Open University (KSOU).
Addressing a news conference here on Friday, he said KSOU did not apply with UGC for renewal of recognition when permission ended in 2012. This was the gross mistake from the University side and because of this reason those courses do not have recognition. But, the State Government had recognised courses for 2013-14 and 2014-15. Certificates and marks cards have been distributed to candidates but it had no mention of Convocation in the Government order. KSOU was in touch with UGC authorities to set right this issue in the interest of thousands of students, he added.
