An admission of 30,000 students to the Karnataka State Open University (KSOU) is expected in the January cycle with the last date for the enrolment to 64 academic programmes, including UG, PG, Diploma, and Certificate courses, ending on March 31.
Vice-chancellor Sharanappa V. Halse told reporters in Mysuru on Thursday that around 5,600 students have taken admissions since January this year and there have been about 3,000-plus enquiries for admissions. “We are hoping for around 30,000 admissions by March-end. Usually, the admissions are more in the July cycle,” he said.
Last year, 43,000 admissions had taken place in both January and July cycles, he added.
