Furthermore, the university vice-chancellor, Karisiddappa has stated that if any past graduates are facing any issues due to the course name, they can approach the university seeking an equivalent certificate.
According to the sources, the proposal in this regard is old. "There were complaints that a few graduates were not able to climb the corporate ladder at the mid-career level due to the course name. For the last three years, there was a proposal in this regard," explained an officer from the Technical education department.
"Many courses have the same syllabus and teaching methodology even though the course names were different. Now these courses are announced as equivalent," said Karisiddappa.
