Mangalore University to offer three job-oriented courses, check details
Mangalore University is now planning out three integrated, job-oriented courses under the National Education Policy-2020. These three courses were approved during the recently held fourth academic council meeting. Mangalore University, Vice-Chancellor, PS Yadapadithaya, announced that “We will add a few more in the coming academic year. These courses are job-oriented."
An admission review committee has been formed to discuss courses to be added under the NEP, Yadapadithaya said. The Univerity initially planned to start job-oriented courses on its campus in Belapu. The list of courses and their advantages will be presented before the syndicate meeting once it is finalised. On courses that will be introduced in the coming years, Yadapadithaya said the focus will be on what has a high demand in the current job market. Courses in chemistry, microbiology, forensic sciences and others are being planned.
Earlier, Mangalore University had also proposed five-year integrated courses in MBA in health, safety and environment (HSE), integrated MCom in business data analytics and an integrated post-graduate degree programme in electronics (IPGE) under National Education Polic 2020. The programmes will be of 10 semesters.
The midday meal scheme has also been resumed at Mangalaganthori in Konaje which was earlier halted because of the pandemic. It was launched to give free midday meals to the day scholars from economically backward families who were unable to afford afternoon meals. Currently, over 100 students are beneficiaries of this programme. The entire midday meal scheme responsibility is shouldered by the college union members.
Yadapadithaya also made a personal contribution of Rs 1 lakh to the fund to start the midday meals. “Others too have donated for the scheme,” he said.
