The admission of students from foreign countries to various courses in the University of Mysore, which had been badly hit during the last two years due to COVID-19, appears to be picking up with the university attracting a total of 148 students this year.
Though the numbers were yet to reach the pre-COVID-19 levels of 600 to 700, Vice-Chancellor G. Hemantha Kumar, while inaugurating the orientation programme for foreign students organised by the University’s International Centre on Friday, said the numbers were better than that of most other universities in the State.
