The University of Calicut has decided to proportionally increase the intake of students to undergraduate and postgraduate courses in its affiliated colleges by up to 20% this academic year.
The decision was taken at a meeting of the Syndicate held on the university campus on Thursday. Colleges with good infrastructure will get the maximum number of seats. A committee will be formed to revise the syllabus of various courses. Workshops for teachers will be held from this month.
In the wake of the recent fire at the data centre of the varsity, the engineering section will be asked to set up a new facility with scientific security systems in place.
