Media Release
Bangalore / Mangalore, Jun 20: Hon’ble High Court of Karnataka through an Order has directed Mangalore University to issue the Degree Certificates within 15 days of the Order to the students of Postgraduate programmes of 2007-08 batch of St.Aloysius College (Autonomous). The High Court has strongly felt that the pending issue between the Mangalore University and the College should not come in the way of the future of the students. In the light of this Order, SACAA urges Mangalore University to issue the degree certificates to all eligible students.
Keeping in view, 130 years of dedicated services of St.Aloysius College, SACAA appeals to Mangalore University to grant academic autonomy to the institution as envisaged in UGC Guidelines and National Higher Education Policy.
" St. Aloysius College has been re-accredited by NAAC with the highest “A” Grade. Moreover, the College has been awarded by UGC the status of “College with Potential for Excellence” under the 11th Five year plan. It is not proper to say that the college does not have required facilities or the college is not cooperating with the university. After becoming autonomous, the college has completely restructured the degree courses in tune with the aspirations of the society and industry. Several Postgraduate programmes have been started for the benefit of the students. Huge investment has been made for upgrading the facilities and also for providing the needed infrastructure. St.Aloysius has shaped the future of generations of students. At present more than 5000 students are pursuing their higher education in the institution. The College being a prestigious institution is certainly Dakshina Kannada’s pride." Media release states.
