KSOU Recognition May Be Renewed By July 2016

The Karnataka State Open University had lost its validity a year ago as it did not comply with the rules and regulations of the UGC and had signed educational agreement without permission from the UGC.

 

July seems to bring silver lining for KSOU as it has submitted all the necessary documents to UGC on June 7 according to Vishwawani.

The external educational agreement has been cancelled by UGC and the process of renewing the grant has resumed. Hence the authorities of the open university have crossed their fingers and await the good news by end of this month.

However, the issue over the recognition of the KSOU seems to have ended.

Apparently, the UGC has asked the KSOU to submit a report to consider its appeal for recognition.

Now, all the students and concerned authorities have a reason to smile as the Vice Chancellor D Shivalingaiah is going to meet the Chairman of UGC on Wednesday.
