Mangaluru, Dec 23: The Academic Council of Mangalore University on Monday approved the self-closure proposals submitted by 22 private degree colleges that were affiliated to the university.

Presiding over the meeting, vice-chancellor Prof P L Dharma said that the managements of the colleges had decided to shut down their institutions. However, academic activities will continue for students who have already taken admission and are currently studying in different classes. He added that the concerned colleges have been instructed to provide all necessary services to students, including the verification of marks cards and other academic requirements.

Due to reasons such as a halt in student admissions and other factors, these colleges had not applied for renewal of affiliation. With the closure of these 22 colleges, the total number of colleges affiliated to Mangalore University will come down to 167.

Of these, 109 are private colleges, 32 are government first-grade colleges, nine are autonomous colleges, 13 are BEd colleges, and four are constituent colleges of the university.

    This was bound to happen as there have been a lot of colleges mushrooming in all the nooks & corners of the city from founders with unknown background & colleges without the requisite facilities and faculty thus drastically reducing the quality of pass outs! BTW, not only here, in many other locations, even engineering colleges are closing down because of lack of students! Even so called good colleges are finding it difficult to get quality faculty in the midst of cut throat competitive & poaching! All in all, the quality of the pass outs has fallen down drastically with many students finding it difficult even to obtain ordinary jobs; many graduates are now employed as delivery agents out of compulsion, but earning good salaries !

    Well Articulated Sir. It's true that we have colleges like STD booths. It's important for students to have quality education and also for lectures to find their true value.
