The University of Calicut on Saturday approved an amendment to its statutes to include an industrial representative in its board of studies for various subjects.
This was cleared at a meeting of the Senate held on the university campus. Sources said that prominent people from industries and services sectors or those from corporate or professional groups would be considered. The varsity authorities expressed hope that it would help introduce changes in the syllabus according to the needs of the industrial world and prepare a job-oriented curriculum. The step would also lead to job creation.
The Senate decided to change the names of B.A. (Afzal-ul-Ulama) to B.A. (Afzal-ul-Ulama) in Arabic and M.A. (Post Afzal-ul-Ulama) to M.A. (Post Afzal-ul-Ulama) in Arabic.
