BANGALORE: Beginning next academic year, students pursuing distance education under the Bangalore University (BU) will be entitled to study material too. The courseware framed under the revised syllabus will be printed and supplied to those who have registered for various courses offered by DCC&DE (Directorate of Correspondence Courses and Distance Education) from 2013-14.
Hitherto, the university was only giving reference material and not study material to the students.
Announcing the decision at the academic council here on Friday, acting vice-chancellor N Rangaswamy said: Although the new syllabus has already been designed, the study material could not get printed for this academic year (2012-13) due to shortage of staff and paucity of time. We revised the syllabus as the previous syllabus was outdated.''
Going against the decision taken at the BU syndicate meeting regarding the erroneous BEd colleges, the council decided to write to the government against the decision. Karan Kumar, chairman of BU task force, said: "Even if these colleges are being granted affiliation for three months, they should not be given a nod for the admission process."
The verdict regarding introduction of 'school concept' and 'five-year integrated course' in the BU has been put on hold. "Majority of undergraduate colleges with life science courses are closing down as there is no demand. In such circumstances, we should first analyze on what will be the fate of the new life science courses that we are planning to come up with," said a council member.
The council also resolved to approve the reduction in course fee of MSc molecular biology course, after much debate.
The council rejected the proposal to establish a deer park on the campus.
