ADB team visits Maharani's institutes, discusses drop in course enrolments
Mysuru: A drop in enrolment for various courses offered at the Maharani's Arts College for Women and Maharani's Science College for Women (Autonomous) in the city, the contribution of colleges to farmers and society through research, as well as the lack of employability of students completing the courses, are the three major issues discussed during the visit of the representatives of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to the legendary institutes on Thursday. In the meeting, the ADB representatives questioned the falling admissions in these two colleges. According to the presentation, the total number of students fell from 5,023 in 2020-21 to 4,361 in 2024-25. It was the BSc course that lost the highest number of students during this period. The experts and faculty informed that interest in engineering courses and students' preference for BCA and BBA courses over BSc are the major reasons for this. The ADB representatives also sought details on whether research activities in the colleges are reaching the farmers, who are more numerous in this area. The faculty listed how they are helping the farmers through various interventions. As part of the Karnataka Higher Education Transformation Project, an initiative of an MOU between the department of higher education, Govt of Karnataka, and the Asian Development Bank (ADB), for upgrading and enhancing the infrastructure, basic facilities, and instiling employability skills among students in govt first grade colleges, polytechnic colleges, and engineering colleges across Karnataka, the ADB team paid its initial visit to these two colleges. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Dor nos nervos?
