The Karnataka State Open University in Mysuru, the State’s sole open university, is hoping to see a rise in admissions in the July cycle with the university getting A-plus grade accreditation from the National Accreditation and Assessment Council (NAAC).
Interestingly, the KSOU, which was once derecognised by the UGC, now happens to be the only university in the State to get A-plus grade and second among 16 open universities in the country to get the recognition.
Addressing presspersons here on Saturday, Vice-Chancellor Sharanappa V. Halse said the KSOU sought the NAAC accreditation for the first time and it secured A-plus grade in its first attempt though A-double plus grade was expected since it fulfilled all the mandatory parameters.
