KSOU likely to get UGC approval for derecognised courses

Karnataka State Open University (KSOU) is likely to get recognition for all the courses that were derecognised by the University Grants Commission (UGC). The UGC, in 2015, had issued orders of discontinuing recognition of all the courses offered by the varsity from the year 2012-13.

KSOU VC D Shivalingaiah, who is in Delhi, will submit the final reports to UGC. He told DH that the varsity may get recognition in August.

The recognition was discontinued as the varsity offered professional and technical courses like BE, BTech, MTech, diploma engineering, apart from several medical and paramedical courses without obtaining permission from the UGC.
