Karnataka higher education minister warns officials against delay in clearing files

“Even if files come from the minister’s office to the secretariat, what is the need to delay issuing the order from there? It is not right to harass those who have come to the government with the hope of getting justice,” he said.

During his meeting with the registrars of different universities, the minister stated that a uniform policy will soon be implemented in a few days regarding uniform examination schedule in universities, examination fees, giving more opportunities to students coming for inter-university studies.

The minister also suggested that a centralized CCTV system should be provided during the polytechnic examination. On students’ job prospects, the minister stressed appointing a placement officer who is closely associated with various companies.

Sudhakar also stated that the government has decided to send final-year polytechnic students to the University of Athens in the US this year as part of the twinning programme. “There should be accountability so that no complaint is received in counseling. It is the job of the authorities to implement the decisions we take effectively and transparently,” he said.

During his meeting with the registrars of different universities, the minister stated that a uniform policy will soon be implemented in a few days regarding uniform examination schedule in universities, examination fees, giving more opportunities to students coming for inter-university studies.

Those who call guest lecturers and allow unnecessary confusion will face disciplinary action.”
