It had been demanding this privilege after many conventional universities in the State started offering correspondence courses, endangering its existence
The Mysuru-based Karnataka State Open University (KSOU), the State’s only Open University, has now got the exclusive right of running courses under open distance learning (ODL) mode with the passage of the Karnataka State Universities (Amendment) Bill, 2020 in the Legislative Assembly.
This means the conventional universities in the State that were offering the correspondence courses all these years have to discontinue them. The KSOU hopes that the move is expected to expand its reach and attract more students within its jurisdiction.
