The century-old University of Mysore has seen a drop in admissions by nearly 10,000 students because of the formation of new universities for Mandya and Chamarajnagar.
As its jurisdiction has now been restricted to only Mysuru district, only 111 colleges come under its control now. Before the formation of new universities, the UoM had control over 232 colleges with about 36,000 admissions.
Vice-chancellor N.K. Lokanath told reporters here on Monday that the revenue from admissions has declined with the university losing nearly 10,000 students with the formation of new universities. The extent of fall in revenue will be known when the admissions get over.
