The 40-year-old varsity launched these courses in 2004
Distance Education Courses being offered by Mangalore University will go into the annals of history as the university has stopped taking new admissions.
The university has been forced to stop new admissions for first year courses after the State government issued a notification which offered the exclusive right of conducting Open and Distance Learning courses to Karnataka State Open University in Mysuru.
The 40-year-old Mangalore University launched its Distance Education Courses in 2004.
According to Director of Centre of Distance Education at the university Y. Sangappa, with new admissions being stopped, the centre has about 4,500 students, which included undergraduate, post-graduate and B.Ed students.
