Karnataka degree colleges to work two shifts to handle student rush – Education News
Karnataka degree colleges will function in two shifts this year to cater to the increased demand for undergraduate course seats. If the Karnataka degree colleges get more admissions, they will be allowed to conduct classes in two shifts, preferably in the morning and afternoon.
The colleges can utilise the existing infrastructure for the same. As per the information from the department of collegiate education, the morning classes will be conducted from 8 am to 12 pm and the afternoon shift will be from 12 pm to 4 pm.
Higher Education Minister Dr C N Ashwath Narayan said, “We don’t think there will be a dearth of seats. Every year, around 1 lakh seats in undergraduate courses remained vacant.
We have also opened evening colleges in 11 government degree colleges and allowed colleges to function in shifts.” He said that the department of collegiate education had been instructed to increase intake at private unaided colleges up to 20%.
