New Delhi: Mangalore University has announced that it will offer dual degree programmes beginning in the 2023-2024 academic year. Programs will be offered at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.
This university project is consistent with UGC norms and the National Education Policy-2020. The recommendations underline the need to allow diverse learning routes. The same information will be included in next year's brochure.
Attempt to provide dual degrees
Vice-Chancellor P S Yadapadithaya of Mangalore University has approved the rules. He presided over the meeting held to examine pursuing two academic programmes concurrently.
The vice chancellor announced on Tuesday that a student could enroll in two online or open-distance learning courses and simultaneously pursue two UG, two diploma, and two PG programmes, or one PG programme and one UG programme, without breaking the eligibility requirements for enrollment to these programmes.
It was done to promote multidisciplinary and comprehensive education. Students will have access to various academic fields, including professional, technical, and vocational ones.
Female Students, Maternity Leave
The council also granted 240-day maternity leave for female students in addition to dual degrees. Recently, the University issued an application call for its Undergraduate Degree Program (Semester system). Before September 23, 2022, interested and eligible candidates must apply to the website.
For Dussehra, The University Will Be Closed
The University will be closed from September 29 to October 3, 2022, in observance of Dussehra. On Tuesday, October 4, 2022, it will reopen. This information has been released in a notice posted on the official website.
Students Are Entitled to Disciplinary Punishment For The Exam Goof
The VC stated that the Board of Examiners (BoE) would face disciplinary action for the error in the BBA Kannada second semester question paper within 15 days. The first semester's exam questions were given to the students.
Yadapadithaya stated that the university would create a thorough standard operating procedure (SOP) for the exam process. There is an SOP, but it will be strengthened to close existing gaps. He said that a committee had been established for the purpose.
He added that assessors would also face punishment for inconsistent assessment of the answer scripts. The revaluation cost will be repaid if the student who requested it received more than a 20% difference in their final grade.
Such instructors' salaries will be withheld, and they will be required to pay the costs associated with the revaluation. Additionally, a warning letter will be sent. Previously, if there was a 10% discrepancy in the marks achieved during revaluation, only 50% of the money was reimbursed.
